Mountain biking

At 613 meters high "Dom" with its lower and upper rock labyrinth a bizarre rock formation "Johannesburg" is called. What the name is based on is no longer known, but the rock formation with its caves and towers reminds of an enchanted castle. The nature friends Pommelsbrunn brought here the billboard with "Wanderers Nachtlied" by Johann Wolfgang v. Chr. Goethe at the "Johannesburg".
"Over all the peaks is peace, In all the treetops you hardly feel a touch; The birds are silent in the forest! Just wait, soon you will rest too".

The NaturFreunde Pommelsbrunn brought the information board with "Wanderer's Night Song" by Johann Wolfgang v. Goethe at the "Johannesburg". "There is peace over all the peaks, in all the treetops you hardly feel a breath; The little birds are silent in the forest! Just wait, soon you will rest too".
