Alder Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

Very beautifully located earth well, which I have never seen in this way. You can drink the water (statement by a local). The new benches invite you to take a short rest.

Riedener Waldsee

Highlight • Lake

The Waldsee Rieden is always worth a trip. In Heides Hütte 3 we were able to really slow down for a weekend and go on some nice bike tours during the day

The Sulzbusch viewing point at the St. Florians Hut is fantastic. It is worth taking a break here to enjoy this amazing view.
