    Hiking

    Unfortunately there are no distant views from up here. Everything is too densely overgrown. But you should have been to the highest point of the Hörre at 445m above sea level - the "Old Castle" if you are already hiking in the Hörre.

    The old castle is located from the sign a few meters further in the forest.
