The Wolfegger Süh is also a 725m high viewing point with a cross and seating area that is easily accessible by bike. From here you can see large parts of Upper Swabia. There is also a boulder on the Süh from the Ice Age that was "left behind" by a glacier.

The Saubadtrail is the best downhill opportunity if you are near Bad Waldsee. You can skip the first and, in my opinion, most difficult part. Otherwise, you can choose between red routes (=easy) or black routes (=difficult). Have fun!

The Lady Chapel with Lourdes Grotto in Molpertshaus was built by Franz Xaver Hafner (* March 5, 1853 in Weitprechts, + July 25, 1935 in Weitprechts), master carpenter, painter, artist and farmer from Weitprechts. The Lourdes Grotto in Molpertshaus is not made of tuff stones, but was made "similar" to a tuff stone grotto using gypsum plaster that was applied to parts of plants and small branches.
