Highlight • Historical Site

The small town of St. Martin is worth a visit at any time of year. Wine bars, vineyards and cafés line up endlessly. It is a pleasure to walk through the town and of course to stop for a drink.

July 18, 2024,Sankt Martin: Kropsburg, Sandwiesenweiher

Short hike in the afternoon around St. Martin to the Kropsburg and the Sandwiesenweiher. The hike comes from the komoot fund and is recommended. Refreshments are available at the Kropsburg and at the Haus an den Fichten (PWV) at the Sandweiher.

Despite the uncertain prospect of good weather, we set off anyway. The house by the spruces seems to be open all year round. The path runs partly along the road, which is not so nice. Nevertheless, the path we took is quite varied.

May 10, 2022,⭐️ Sankt Martin: Durchs schöne Kropsbachtal

Today my starry path led me to Sankt Martin.
First it went over the Kropsburg from the 13th/16th. Century on the Way of the Cross to the Mariengrotte and further and further into the forest. I came across several wells and springs. 😊
The absolute highlight was of course the aurochs with their calves. 😍
The way back took me …
