Kuckelberg is only 300 meters away from the main road - "Kuckelberg in the sun", as the former pastor Bertrams from Herrenstrunden used to call this farmstead because of its favorable location on the southern slope. It is located directly on the Kuckelberger Bach, surrounded by lush green hills and meadows The Steffens family has been at home there for a century and is now in its fifth generation.
