Hiking

The signposted trail number 34 is now in constant change, sometimes uphill and downhill in the direction of the magic forest. Directly on the trail are the rocks Hänsel and Gretel.

Mountain biking

The name probably comes from the conspicuous rock formation, 2 rocks next to each other almost like siblings. The Wurzelsepp Trail, based on the signposted hiking trail number 34 is now in constant change, sometimes uphill and downhill in the direction of the magic forest. Directly on the trail are the rocks Hansel and Gretel.
