Tips from the Community
After the municipal reform, Bierlingen became the administrative seat and thus the municipal center. After the previous Bierlingen town hall was initially continued to be used, a new, larger town hall could be built in 1986/87. As part of the redevelopment of the town center, the Kelhof next to the town hall was also redesigned and now shows a modern artistic interpretation of the young municipality: the stone sculptures, consisting of a shepherd with five sheep by two rivers, symbolize the five districts and their location on the Starzel and Eyach rivers.

When looking up from the hiking trail during the vegetation-free period, you can see some remains of walls. The castle was quite large and probably had a bailey and two neck ditches.

I discovered by chance that a Stations of the Cross runs along the edge of the forest, which also features some truly beautiful relief paintings! It's worth noting that there's a small parking lot at the beginning and a bench every few stops along the way!
