Bilstein Ruins and View of the Höllental

Highlight • Castle

A wonderful view and a ruin where no one is suspected. The detour for nature, culture and geology is wonderful, the view from the rock that slopes almost perpendicular to the Berka is magnificent.

Hielöcher Karst Landscape

Highlight • Natural Monument

It is a clear but extremely interesting karst area. It looks like a non-local piece of countryside has been brought here. Definitely worth seeing!

There were also beautiful paths, great views and, as a reward for the two rainy days, bright autumn. Particularly worth mentioning is the hiking break in Wolfertshausen, a rest area with self-service and a trusted …
