A beautiful hiking trail in both summer and winter leads from Heinder Church to Listringen. The forest is on the right, and fields with panoramic views over the villages are on the left. The Soldatenweg (Soldiers' Path) offers a quick route to the Innerste River, but it's a steep downhill slope that can be quite slippery in bad weather. There's also a shelter (Lindenhütte).

Unfortunately, it's not easy to ride even with a touring bike. Very bumpy.
