    Hiking

    For thousands of years, the whirlpools of the Schwarza have used stone and boulders to cut round pits into the shale. They are protected as hydrogeological natural monuments and are very rare.

    For thousands of years, the Schwarza whirlpools used stone and boulders to crush round depressions into the shale. They are under protection as hydrogeological natural monuments and are very rare.

    Hiking

    A hut and benches invite you to rest. Bicycle stands are available. Cooling is also possible in the strudel pots in summer.
