Läusegrund Spring

Highlight • Natural

A small spring in the forest. Splendid. There are enough benches at the pitch oven.

The pitch furnace is one of the medieval production sites for extracting tar and pitch and was also one of the common forest industries at the time. Its functional operation is similar to that of a coal kiln.
The end products of a pitch oven were distillation products from the wood, such as wood vinegar, pine oil, wood tar and light and heavy pitches.
These products were produced one after the other at a temperature of up to around 400 degrees Celsius. The work process lasted several days. In addition, high-quality charcoal was obtained.

Historic Paper Mill Zeitzgrund

Highlight • Historical Site

Recently, the local family has opened a small snack. Although there is no advertising for it but the Lord of the court invited for coffee and was visibly and rightly proud of his estate. A visit to the paper mill is worthwhile. And sure, every week it will look different, as it is being expanded

Trollwiese Forest Playground

Highlight • Rest Area

A small, beautiful playground with a swing, wooden horse, stilt house and fitness trail. Very nicely laid out and 3 table / seat combinations invite you to linger. Idyllic.
