Along the Lautertal, following the "Große Lauter", you often see beautiful rock formations.

One can only confirm that it is a beautiful path through the Lautertal. Whether by bike or as a hike. You see many castle ruins along the route. As a hiker, you can also take detours to deviate a bit from the path and see the valley from higher up.

Behind this highlight lies the fascinating story of the wild woman. The spot is beautifully situated, the information panel is valuable, and it sparks the imagination. Highly recommended.
