Blue Stones — Basalt Field on Schreckenberg

Highlight • Natural Monument

On the southern slope of the Schreckenberg you will find a large field of basalt rubble. It is of volcanic origin and these stones often appear bluish due to the incidence of light, although they are actually gray-dark. Because of their expansion, the block fields were elevated to a natural monument.

Dörnberg Alpine Trail

Highlight • Trail

A super beautiful way to go very well and a view that is stunning. Plus a fauna - it's just really, really great to hike this path. If you want it a little quieter, you should start early in the morning - it is full by noon.
