Gallner Cross with a beautiful rest area

Highlight • Summit

The mountain of Gallner towers over the surrounding landscape by about 350 meters - so the view is magnificent, which you can admire at its treeless summit. Despite the altitude, the climb is good and he leads up good roads.

Denkzell with its ensemble of listed farmhouses

Highlight • Settlement

In 1995 Denkzell was awarded the gold medal in the competition "Our village is to become more beautiful". The pretty village enchants above all with its renovated farms and grain houses.

Very nice hike. Together with a final stop for lunch at the "Zum Wirt" inn, it gave us a wonderful Sunday morning in June.

Today we hiked from Denkzell to Gallner Berg. On the way, we made a detour to the Hohenstein castle ruins and later reached a memorial site in the woods. There, among other things, a story of several murders is told, and I wouldn't want to visit the creepy grave there at night 😅. This place, with everything there, is quite …
