The mines are usually located off the hiking trail.
Watch out for heaps and old mining relics.

Schmidtburg Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

Camping within the foundations of a castle ruin? It's possible! And here at Schmidtburg. You can set up camp for the night at the official trekking site and feel like a knight.

Wild Hahnenbach

Highlight • River

For me, this dream loop is one of the most beautiful in the region. Diverse, informative and with many small and large sights, it is very exciting. Definitely worth the trip.

The path leads through two consecutive rock breakthroughs. But be careful, the headroom is very limited.
