View from the observation tower. Unfortunately, it's closed because some of the beams in the staircase are rotten and splintered.

The best time of year for heather is when it is in bloom. Also popular during mushroom season.

Findlingspark Henzendorf not far from Reicherskreuz and is on the way to the heathland. Stones are interestingly painted and you can find interesting information on the information board.
