The Büsenbach Valley, with its winding Büsenbach stream, the fairy ponds, the Pferdekopf (horse's head), and, of course, the beautiful heath fields, is worth a visit at any time of year. And when it rains, you can simply head to the sheepfold.

From the "Pferdekopf" you have the best view of the heathlands in the Büsenbachtal.
