The Kuckans Valley

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

Geologically interesting trail, because you actually find volcanic rock here (information board). In addition, an ascent to the Ravensberg starts here with nice surprises (Reinhardsbrunnen). Botanically, the climb is varied and leads through a particularly beautiful beech forest.

Witches' Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The "witch" up there has already seen something and she has certainly seen a lot and MANY.

Teufelsstieg Trail

Highlight • Trail

Nice way, but you should be free from giddiness. The path is quite narrow and sometimes steep over roots and without railings.

Well, I have to say that you definitely have to visit this place at least once. In addition to the beautiful view, there are also numerous other things to do such as a playground, a chair lift, etc.
