You cross the Untreubach stream by stepping from one stone block to the next. Alternatively, you can walk through the shallow part of the stream in summer.

My personal safe place in Hof 👍Whether by bike or on foot, it's always beautiful🖤🥰From the climbing park, labyrinth, playground, volleyball/basketball court, and mini golf course, everything is there. In the evening, you can enjoy a delicious meal at the "diewertschaft" restaurant or have a nice campfire at the fire pits 👌The most beautiful place in Hof
