WS Stamp 44: Friwole Church Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

Great destination for a hike and stamp point 44, you will find useful information on the information board and you can rest here. The deserted village is a great photo opportunity.

Ruins of the Friwohle Church Tower

Highlight • Religious Site

A beautiful place amidst the solitude and tranquility of the forest.
The ruins of the church tower are a reminder of the Friwohle settlement, which disappeared many centuries ago.
The rest areas on site are also somewhat outdated. 😬

First of all...the best thing about the tour was the café.
Totally quaint with homemade cakes.
You can walk the rest of the tour but you don't have to.
No signage, overgrown, blocked paths and the deserted area isn't really a highlight either.
But we were outside.

It would be nice if you didn't suddenly find yourself facing a closed forest path.

We bypassed that section. However, this "path" is not highly recommended!
