The herb spiral and the Kneipp basin directly at the boules court and the fitness path are one of the highlights in Hoßkirchen. The place is very nicely laid out and easy to get to. Almost right next to the town center

Exciting crossroads in the middle of the forest with a 180-degree serpentine up to Königsegg Castle, also a hiking trail to the castle and below a forest pond along which a gravel path leads to the Hoßkirch-Königseggsee railway station
