This mystical site is characterized by ten granite boulders and a 💯-year-old thorn bush. The garnet boulders bear the Ten Commandments from the Old Testament.

The suspension bridge at Pfaffensteg provides a pure sense of adventure: gently swaying, with views of the valley, and surrounded by nature. A unique experience that adds variety to any tour—and a great spot for a souvenir photo.

The Klausenhof Open-Air Museum in the Hotzenwald Forest is a must-see for anyone who wants to experience history up close. The original, thatched-roof Hotzenhaus, dating from 1424, has been carefully rebuilt at its current location and conveys authentic life in the Southern Black Forest of past centuries. On-site, you can experience an exciting audio tour with ten stops via QR code. In addition to historical insights, the Klausenhof also offers events, markets, and even weddings with a unique atmosphere.

The Ödland Chapel is a true gem in the Hotzenwald Forest and boasts a rich history. At the end of the 18th century, the farmers of Bergaling built a small chapel here in gratitude after their village was spared from the rinderpest epidemic. Following a fire in 1897, the current stone pilgrimage chapel, dedicated to the Holy Cross, was built. A particularly atmospheric feature: every year on the first Sunday in September, a pilgrimage service brings life to this special place.
