At the biotope Fuchsschweif, named after the nearby settlement, the municipality has created a serpentine footbridge that leads to the water. The oversized and weatherproof snake head serves as a seat for walkers and can be used by school groups as an outdoor classroom.

Feldaist Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

nice, quiet area. Where one can let the everyday life rest. Rest well. You can also turn right and walk along Feldaist for a longer time. There is also a nice way to Kumpfmühle -> see my tours.
