ヴェルター湖での周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

The freely accessible Hochwart Castle ruins, also known as the "Black Castle," serve as a reminder of the dramatic end of the once mighty fortress of the Counts of Celje, whose line died out in 1456. Destroyed in a succession dispute, the castle was never rebuilt; today, parts of the main tower and walls of the 12th-century chapel still stand in the forest. However, the ruins are unsecured and at risk of collapse, situated partly on steep slopes, and the last 600 meters are only accessible on foot.

The Forstsee lake is largely untouched and can be freely used for swimming. Apart from a few facilities, there are no significant buildings or structures. A hiking trail runs around the lake, and on the western shore is a listed section of an ancient road.

A very beautiful, quiet path. And it's even a listed historical monument, because an ancient road used to run along here.

leisurely hike in hot temperatures

A beautiful gorge with an interesting legend. A walk through the Devil's Ditch is highly recommended!
