    Hiking

    Heck cattle graze on a large area here in the valley of the Odenbach. You can see them all year round.
    The breed of Heck cattle was bred in the 1920s and represents a reproduction of the aurochs (Ur), which are the progenitor of all domestic cattle.

    The Heck cattle, often inaccurately referred to as the "aurochs" or a "back-breeding" of the same, is a domestic cattle breed developed in the 1920s. It is named after the brothers Heinz and Lutz Heck.
