    Unfortunately does not open often! But you have great opportunities to stop there! (Tables and benches)

      Nice area and perfect for resting.
      Very long single trails in the immediate area.

        Always nice on the donkey castle. From May there will be entertainment again on Sundays and public holidays. Several trails go from the donkey castle back into the valley

          It's worth making a detour, right on the trail. Opens on 4.7.

            Eselsburg is always worth the climb. From the top, some trails lead back down into the valley in all directions

                      Sunday is worth the goal if he is open for a rest

                          A great destination! Directions with a cool trail and then the heart-cultivated tower with great views. Recommendation!

                            Wonderful view of vineyards and idyllic nature. Unfortunately, the tower is not always open. But the view from the bank on the trail below the tower is still worth it.

                              The hut by the tower is open on Sundays and public holidays (in summer).

                                A worthwhile goal. A nice place to take a breather after the climb from the Eselsburg hiking car park. On Sundays and public holidays, the beer garden is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (as of March 2020).
                                From here you can reach the Eselssburgtrail towards Schreckstein or the Stockwald car park. But please pay attention to the hikers, because the path is also very popular with pedestrians.

                                  Nice tour destination. Several trails lead from the donkey castle back into the valley in all directions. Of. There is a lot to be found in S0-S2

                                    Without the Eselsburg tower there is no view up there except for the tower.
                                    From my own experience and also according to photos, the tower is always "barricaded".
                                    But below in the vineyards the view is brilliant!
