The water tower in Kirchberg stands out strikingly from the landscape. Opened in 1900, it was the city's only water supply system until 1975.

Forest Long Jump Pit

Highlight • Rest Area

This "challenge" can be found in many places and yet always impresses. As a non-professional athlete, you probably won't be able to leap 6 meters like a deer, but surpassing a squirrel is something ;o)

We started in light drizzle and a decent crosswind, but the weather soon showed its best side @Sonne. I haven't seen so much sunshine all week while hiking here 🌞 which makes it all the …
