Gnomenbrünnlein

Highlight • Cave

In the vicinity of the dwarf cave there is another cave, the Kühloch or Gnomenbrünnlein is a small indoor cave that is well worth seeing. It is right on the way and cannot be missed.

The Dwarf Cave

Nice cave with two entrances and several cross connections, the passage length is about 100m. The somewhat arduous ascent, leaving the bike down below, is worth it, don't forget your torch.

Hollenberg Castle Ruins and Viewpoint

Highlight • Castle

Even if the ascent, pushing and carrying the bike is really difficult, it is worth the effort to get to the Hollenberg castle ruins. From here you have a fascinating view. Unfortunately, the information boards are installed about 100m below.
