Best Hikes to Wolfs Pit (Wolfsgrube)
Tips
A real highlight on the Wolfsgrube premium hiking trail. Wolves were trapped in a pit here in the 18th century. This is still preserved. At that time it was covered with brushwood and baited. As soon as a wolf tried to eat the bait, it fell through the brushwood into the pit. Wolves were hunted back then because they caused great damage to (small) livestock. Today the pit is surrounded by beautifully carved wooden wolves.
