In spring a beautiful forest path in the green. You can already smell the wild garlic from afar ;)

In Trecklenburg you can find the observation tower in the castle ruins. It is closed, but the key can be obtained for a deposit at the Haus des Gastes in the town. However, I found no information about this anywhere. The ruins themselves are beautiful. The view from the observation platform, however, is not so good. Nevertheless, it is worth it.

A lovely spot by the mill pond. The wooden footbridge takes you right to the water. There are also benches where you can enjoy the idyllic view.

You have to look closely to discover the rock niches where sacrifices were made to the gods over 1,000 years ago. Sometimes small offerings or candles make the search easier.
