The ridge hike along the "Schlosshöchi" to the Alt Bechburg castle ruins is a true highlight. From no other perspective do the approximately 1,000-year-old walls reveal themselves in all their splendor. The Middle Ages have never been more impressive and wildly romantic than here! Anyone looking to capture unique photos of Alt Bechburg will certainly get their money's worth on this section of the trail.

Hiking

Beautiful resting spot near the Alt-Bechburg ruins with three barbecue areas – two large and one slightly hidden. Especially practical: Wood is available on-site and stored in a shed. Ideal for a cozy break or for grilling after the hike.
