The Butzensee is often referred to as one of the few natural lakes on the Albrand. However, the lake could already be completely drained in the Middle Ages via a weir. Since the lake lay directly on the border between Württemberg's Bodelshausen and Hohenzollern's Sickingen, there were repeated conflicts over it.

The Dionysiuskirche is the Protestant parish church in the heart of Bodelshausen. Its striking tower dates back to the 13th century and bears witness to medieval construction styles, while the current nave was consecrated in the Neoclassical-Gothic style in 1847.

Quite a rustic forest path, not used very often, as a nice cross-connection to the paved wide forest paths in the Rammert.
