I (82) did the tour on Sunday. It was simply beautiful with a fantastic view. I highly recommend a visit to the church in Friesenhagen.

The Gambach Valley is a quiet hiking area. An asphalted cycle and footpath has long been running along the former railway line to and through the Hohenhain Tunnel. There are also natural forest paths. The Freudenberg half-timbered path also runs here.

The old town, the "old spot", is a listed building. The half-timbered houses are all inhabited, some even have a shop. It's worth strolling around and looking around, it's simply great and homely.
