Kastl Valley in the Hirschwald Nature Park
Highlight • Gorge
The valley goes past the town hall in a northwesterly direction out of Kastl - nice little road that forks after 1 km - both routes are very nice

Hollow Way - Trail
Highlight (Segment) • Trail
Loosely based on Schiller "He has to drive through this hollow alley". Easy to drive, steep ravine along the "Great Trench". The interesting route starts right at the miniature house.

Tip by
Gaiskammer Gorge
Highlight • Gorge
Gorge carved deep into the Jura. The water carries a lot of dissolved lime, which settles on moss and plants and results in the formation of tufa. "Stone gutters" found elsewhere are also created in this way.
