Small pavilion with a view of the Rhine plain.
King Ludwig I of Bavaria liked to sit at this beautiful point.

Rietburg Chairlift

Highlight • Rest Area

"It was better to drive bad than well!" Fun - the ride in the rustic chair lift I really liked. Reminded me of my Alpine holidays as a child.

Ludwig Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

When the tower was built in 1889, it is said to have had a complete all-round view. Nowadays the view of the Rhine plain is blocked by trees. But you can see well to the east and north-west.

Triefenbach Trail (Brückenpädel)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Nice path along the Triefenbach from Hilschweiher to the Gasthaus Hüttenbrunnen. At the inn, be sure to walk about 100 meters up the mountain to see the springs that spring up there. Worthwhile.👍
