Path junction under a mighty tree with a seating area and a view over the Starzeltal towards Hirrlingen. A beautiful hiking trail through the Starzeltal starts from here.

In this section, a wonderfully easy-to-walk path leads directly along the Starzel.

Bridge over the Starzel with a good view of the water, from here a very nice hiking trail on natural paths runs parallel to the Starzel towards Bierlingen.

Functional and rather spartan barbecue area near the Starzel with a barbecue pit, as well as seating and a table.

A beautiful spot where you have the opportunity to go directly to the bank of the Starzel river from the relatively nearby path. Fish can also occasionally be seen in the crystal-clear water.

The Josefskapelle stands outside the village on an exposed spot in the gently rising landscape between Rangendingen and Hirrlingen, framed by two natural monuments: two large, old lime trees. According to tradition, built in 1732, the simply designed chapel has always been an unbroken point of attraction for devout supplicants, as evidenced by numerous current votive pictures.
