What a magnificent tree! Unfortunately, it's a little weak on its right flank—but it still welcomes every enthusiastic visitor 🌳

A truly great forest road through a beautiful forest, a bit bumpy in places (April 2025), but good for rolling (towards Mossey) or leisurely climbing (towards Mt Donon). It was fun!

Rothau played an important role in the valley's religious history, as evidenced by this 19th-century Protestant church. Admission is free.
