    Mountain biking

    The Burning Mountain is a natural spectacle that was already mentioned by poet lord Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in his work "Dichtung & Wahrheit". Since the middle of the 17th century smoldered a coal seam in the interior of the mountain here, so that visitors can still experience the sulfurous musty smelling smoke flags.
    However, as the rising white steam is no longer as visible as in Goethe's time, a visit to the Burning Mountain is recommended, especially after rainy days or during the winter months.
