Girgel Cave

Highlight • Cave

Interesting rock formation (granite). A small path leads to the top of the cavernous rocks (wooden staircase / ladder) - worthwhile. In the summer months: beware of ticks ...

Schreiber Boum bench

Highlight • Viewpoint

The "bench" is located directly on a rock. Here, you can find peace and solitude. Unfortunately, the view is quite overgrown.
