From the paths around Gierstädt, you'll always have fantastic views over the Fahner Höhe. Especially in spring, when the fruit trees bloom, the entire region transforms into a sea of white and pink blossoms. In summer and autumn, you can look out over lush orchards and colorful fields.

Equipped with a picking bucket and a map, you can pick your own apples and cherries, depending on the season, and receive expert advice. At the end, the apples are weighed—and you take home your very own harvest basket. It doesn't get any fresher than this!

This shelter has been lovingly decorated. There are so many lovely little sayings on the signs (and especially appealing in this day and age).

Even though the path is not well maintained, this section of the Luther Trail offers occasional seating and a magnificent view of Kleinfahner.
