The origins of the hall church with polygonal chancel and large eastern roof turret probably lie in the 12th century.

The homemade pea soup is excellent. The homemade cake is also highly recommended.

The Meuschkensmühle is a lovingly restored mill in the heart of the Mühltal valley, surrounded by forest, water, and hiking trails. Once a working mill, it is now a cozy destination with a restaurant, petting zoo, and riding stables.

A small, tranquil forest pond with water lilies is like a hidden gem amidst the greenery 🌿. Surrounded by tall trees, the light gently reflects off the water's surface, while the water lilies float on it like small, delicate islands.

The Red Puddle is a small stream and pond nestled in a moorland landscape surrounded by spruce and pine forests. The area was formerly a center of peat extraction, which ceased in 1972. Traces of the old peat railway, which connected the moor to the spa center, are still visible today. Today, the moor is a protected refuge for numerous plant and animal species. The area can be easily explored on well-marked trails. Interpretive panels provide information about the unique flora and fauna, as well as the historical use of the moor.
