Merburg Castle Ruins at the Malafels

Highlight • Castle

Ruin of a small castle. One can well imagine how this castle (see drawing) once looked. The Merburg is located in the immediate vicinity of the fish pond and the fisherman's hut

Fisherman's Hut at Kirrberg Pond

Highlight • Restaurant

Beautifully situated idyllic pond on the edge of Kirrberg. 😃
In the fisherman's hut you can relax. The landlord here is very friendly and accommodating. 🤗 There is a small but nice card. The dishes, at fair prices taste very good!
Here is a stop on each case to be recommended !!! 👍👍👍

Wichtel Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

A very small but idyllic gorge. It lies between the Little Red Riding Hood path and the fairy forest. Not only children can imagine where the names come from.
