Tips

Andreas Graf von Zala

Hiking

Huge stones form the Farthofer Höhlen, which consists of numerous tunnels. These were measured in 1990 and have a length of eight to 50 meters. Above the caves is the so-called Druid pulpit, a lookout point over the forest. The Druid's pulpit can be safely climbed using the climbing system.
