Tips from the Community
You share this singletrack with mountain bikers, or rather, as a pedestrian it's better to walk on the path directly along the edge of the quarry. This is easily done and the cyclists tend to use the hilly spoil heap.

The Birkenallee is closed to through traffic and therefore a beautiful promenade on the edge of the former spa park.

The ascent on the south side is very steep and long. Once you reach the top, however, you can enjoy the fantastic panoramic view.

Located on the Spatzenberg (also called Löhner Berg), below the memorial cross, directly on the cycling and hiking path, is a marl pit, also known as the Grumkuhle (Grum Pit) to the long-established Falscheiders. The marl (Grum) mined here until the mid-20th century served as reinforcement material for agricultural paths, farms, and squares. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, this was a festival site. Today, it is a rest area for cyclists and hikers familiar with the area. You can take a relatively comfortable break on the large, semicircular stone blocks or on a bench nearby. An information board provides interesting facts about the Spatzenberg, its history, and its natural environment. The Spatzenberg, which was predominantly used for agriculture until the mid-20th century, is now half-forested again and a popular local recreation area.

You can enjoy cycling around Spatzenberg on well-maintained, car-free paths. However, there's no view from the top because the summit area is densely forested.
