Tips from the Community
The beautiful old town of Ortenberg is simply outstanding! A stroll through the cobblestone streets and the old half-timbered houses are worth seeing. Unfortunately, you can only find a few eateries and cafes there.

Hi everyone, a quick tip: The Niddaroute is not, as is incorrectly described here, a bike path where you can "really put your foot on it," but rather a footpath and bike path where pedestrians have priority. So always be careful. ;-)
