Hutweg to Schmausenbuck Forest Path

Highlight • Trail

Turning from Hutweg in Laufamholz, a rather narrow path leads through partly dense forest past many former quarries to Schmausenbuck / Tiergarten.
There are also tons of mushrooms on the way.

Heathland at Brunner Berg

Highlight • Natural

In the south of the Brunner Berg there are large deposits of heather on sandy soil, which bloom purple in August and September.

This impressive stone with its relief carving, which is reminiscent of a mammoth, is somewhat hidden behind a bush so that it cannot be seen from the path. To find it, just follow the beaten path - the stone is only a few meters away.

Buchenklinge Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

The quaint spring, around which an entire stone altar was built, originally served to supply the workers in the sandstone quarries with water. In the meantime it has developed into a popular destination. Here you can rest in the shade of the trees on two equally rustic stone benches and in time listen to the water from the spring splashing as it makes its way down the slope in a small stream.
