Former Thurn und Taxis Hermitage

Highlight • Historical Site

You can also enter this hermitage and look around inside, it's just a shame that there are no further explanations.

The exit is beautifully hidden, in the middle of the forest. Don't turn right before the forest :-)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Charles Fountain with its fountain is worth a visit. But not necessarily in midsummer, because the well and the ponds next to it are very bad.
