Breathtaking church, but it is also closed on weekends.

A very nice, quiet cycle path. However, it's very narrow, so you have to be careful when there's oncoming traffic.

Equipped with a picking bucket and a map, you can pick your own apples and cherries, depending on the season, and receive expert advice. At the end, the apples are weighed—and you take home your very own harvest basket. It doesn't get any fresher than this!

A wonderful old restaurant. It was good even in the GDR days. First time back here in 40 years. The senior manager still greets you with a handshake... Like in the old days 👍🏻.

Even though the path is not well maintained, this section of the Luther Trail offers occasional seating and a magnificent view of Kleinfahner.
