    Hiking

    Between moss-covered rocks and rushing water lies the mysterious Elfengrotte (Elven Grotto), a natural monument in the Kondelwald forest. Here, a small waterfall cascades over lava rock – a relic of volcanic times – into the depths. The grotto opening acts like a portal to another world, particularly atmospheric in the morning light or after rain.

    Tip:
    Be sure to linger for a moment and listen to the water – pleasantly cool in summer, a play of colors from the leaves and light in autumn. A good spot for a short break at the railing or a photo stop.
