Hiking
The Icon Trail is divided into a western and an eastern section. Both are decorated with small icons that revive a typical regional tradition. The hike on the Icon Trail takes you along the Waldnaab Valley and through very lovely, secluded forest areas.

Hiking
Actually a circular path past 18 icons (trees to which wooden boxes with images of saints are attached).
Icons are actually cult images of the Eastern churches. However, trees to which wooden boxes with images of saints, the Mother of God or Jesus Christ are attached have a long tradition in our area. The reason for the design of these "image trees" was often vows, but also the desire to encourage as many people as possible to pray and thus worship God and the saints.
