During a hike to/from the Jungfernhöhle, you literally walk through this section fortification. The section fortifications are still clearly visible.

The Eulenstein is an imposing viewing rock and a great photo motif, especially at sunset. The rock is easy to reach from the east, even though it is not signposted. A small path leads from the road to the rock, the last stretch you have to walk across a meadow.

A very charming, natural path leads here along the sinter terraces and repeatedly offers fascinating views of them.

The 13 Breweries Trail can easily be completed in three stages, planning so that the start and finish are accessible by public transport. However, this requires careful planning.
