After a hike around Lake Wirchensee or as a break on a bike ride through the Schlaubetal valley, a visit to the Waldseehotel Wirchensee is worthwhile. The terrace offers a magnificent view of the lake.

Large and small boulders from the fields served as building material for many village buildings in the past. They were brought and moved by the Ice Age, which also shaped the diverse landscape of the Schlaubetal Nature Park.
