Currently closed Mondays and Saturdays, unfortunately due to staffing shortages, isn't that the norm these days? What's up to Gen Z???

Memorial to the Battle of Kirburg. Let's hope there will never be another battle here.

You can easily spend an hour or two in the beautiful natural surroundings, among the interesting birds, and perhaps with a delicious hot sausage and hearty bread, or even coffee and cake :)
