It should be a relaxing hike; the forest paths are so good, and the views are fantastic. I'll do the hike again in the fall, just for the trees. The nature is truly something special.

There are many mistletoes to be found on the Holzberg, which "float" mystically between heaven and earth. They can be found particularly on the poplars, but also on many fruit trees along the entire Holzberg meadows.

The parking lot also has enough space for a motorhome. From there, thanks to the network of paths, many paths of varying lengths are possible along the scenic and species-rich Holzberg.
