The ringfort of Schneeburg is not the remains of a castle, but rather an archaeological monument that only reveals itself upon closer inspection. There were never any towers or stone walls here – the fortification consisted of earthworks, wooden palisades, and timber structures. Today, primarily ditches, ramparts, and the shape of the site are visible in the landscape. Historians assume that the oldest traces of Schneeburg date back to the Bronze Age. In the Middle Ages, it offered the local population protection from Hungarian invasions.

The quaint building is the old service cabin of August Ganghofer, the father of the writer Ludwig Ganghofer. It represents the family's forestry background and the forest that strongly influenced Ludwig's childhood. August Ganghofer was not only the district forester in Welden, but later pursued a career as a forestry expert.

The wooden stake on the LandArt trail near Bonstetten initially appears to be an oversized signpost. However, Hama Lohrmann's work is conceived as a thought experiment. The pointed stake stands at a crossroads and evokes the idea of human development: upward-directed, ambitious, but not necessarily linear. This is precisely why the deliberately crooked stake is important. Hama Lohrmann initially searched for a straight stake but ultimately opted for the irregular shape because it better reflects a development that can deviate from the "right path." This is complemented by the circle of collected wooden sticks on the ground.

Beautiful chapel with a bench to rest on and an impressive tree

The mangroves of Augsburg's Western Forests Nature Park. A spectacle!

This forest hiking trail is probably one of the most beautiful in our region. Along the trail are the Eichenhütte and the Hubertushütte, both of which are ideal for a rest. If you haven't had enough, continue on the so-called Jägersteig, an approximately 8km circular trail through the forest.

The journey is completely worth it
