Tiefental in the Misselhorner Heath

The Tiefental adjoins the Misselhorner Heide in the south. A visit to this beautiful valley is not only worthwhile for the heather blossom.

The Kuckans Valley

Geologically interesting trail, because you actually find volcanic rock here (information board). In addition, an ascent to the Ravensberg starts here with nice surprises (Reinhardsbrunnen). Botanically, the climb is varied and leads through a particularly beautiful beech forest.

Steinberg Cliffs

A great sight for friends of rocks and cliffs. When visiting the stone church, you should also go to the Steinberg. The view of the foreland is very nice and worth the climb.
