    The Hartenfels, the 531m high local mountain of Neukirchen, is a geologically and historically remarkable mountain range in the east of the village. A mighty rock tower made of franco dolomite builds the summit of the Hartenfels (climbing garden). From the summit of the Hartenfels you have a beautiful view to the south and west over Neukirchen and the surrounding area.

        A knight once lived here.
        Nothing remains of his dwelling today. Summit cross, bench and two signs tell of the historic place. One of the wooden plaques describes the location of the castle and its defenses, such as ramparts and moats.

        When you have mastered the inclines, a wonderful view opens up over the beautiful area. Two benches or the rocks themselves invite you to linger
