From the specially marked viewpoints you get a fantastic look around. Plaques along the way tell regional legends and keep big and small hikers entertained. A unique hike for the whole family which much to explore! And who knows, maybe you’ll even meet him – the Pumphut!
Cycling
How about a cycling trip? The surrounding area cannot only be explored on foot, but also by bike!
