Hiking

Fantastic premium hiking trail Birgeler Urwald, incredibly varied. It led through the natural forest, but also past meadows and fields and over many bridges and footbridges. You can find all further information at: netreisetagebuch.de/birgeler-urwald

Hiking

This region was fought over in many wars. So there are still relics from hopefully bygone times.
