Old Railway Embankment Berggießhübel–Zwiesel

Highlight • Trail

The "Alter Bahndamm" is also something for railway lovers. Some old signals and warning signs are still in their original locations. Mostly there are still explanations about the meaning of the warning signs, but unfortunately some have been removed. This gives the trail something special.
The line was closed in 1976.

Zwieselmühle (Abandoned Mill and Former Inn)

Highlight • Historical Site

The Zwieselmühle, located on the Gottleuba River, is a sawmill built in 1787, but possibly about 100 years older. It was listed as a historical monument in 1985 and has been owned by the Hering family since 1918. The sawmill was powered by water, and the saw frame could process logs up to 47 cm thick.

The mill is scheduled to be renovated soon.(??)

Natural monument: Potholes at the Forellensteig

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Gottleuba mountain stream has washed away the sandstone in many places, geological natural monuments such as whirlpool holes and "bowls" have formed in the rocks. Thanks to the humid, cool climate of the brook valley, a large number of ferns and perennials grow along the shore.
