Highlight • Viewpoint

Great vantage point with a view into the distance. You should have a head for heights to get to the top of the rock formation (crevice)!

Dimbach Protestant Church

Highlight • Religious Site

At the beginning / end of the Dimbach hiking trail is the small, eponymous village. Very quiet as there is no through traffic!

Hiking home "Dicke Eiche" (PWV Hauenstein)

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Less than a kilometer from the natural monument Dicke Eiche, lies the hikers' lodge of the same name. Here you can stop for a short break, enjoying a white cheese (Quark) with potatoes and a nice Weissherbst-Schorle.
