The hiking path over the Heidenberg to the Buchkammerfelsen alone is a highlight. It goes through the sandstone cliffs and the gnarled trees that have been worked by the weather in a very picturesque way. However, you should be a bit free from giddiness and surefooted.

Hiking

A narrow, high-altitude trail on the way to Buchkammerfels. Several spots offer magnificent views of the surrounding, gently rolling forest landscape.
