Hiking

Large and rarely crowded parking lot. Good to know: the day ticket (2023 for €3) is not only valid until 11:59 p.m., but is valid for a full 24 hours.

Paid hiking car park "Vogelherd" - ideal starting point for various tours on the Ochsenkopf. There is also a small rest area in the immediate vicinity.
