Friedrich Tower at Badener Höhe

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Friedrichsturm stands on the Badener Höhe. The tower with 168 steps offers an excellent view of the Rhine plain. There are a few places to sit and a shelter right next to the Friedrichsturm.

Herrenwieser Lake

Highlight • Lake

If you focus on the rocky hiking trail, the lake is barely noticeable. It's well hidden, but definitely worth a detour.

Nice little place. The Buntsandsteinkirche St. Antonius, dating from 1744, is worth seeing. Above the church is the "Queen of Peace", an artistically crafted memorial from 1947. Herrenwies is a popular starting point for cross-country tours in the surrounding forests in winter.

Maurer's Highland Cattle

Highlight • Natural

These Scottish cattle are an attraction in Herrenwies, and an additional enclosure with Mangalitza wool pigs has now been built. Always worth a trip for locals and tourists, and the Herrenwieser campsite is also very close by.
