Highlight • Monument

Coming from below, in the direction of Thalbürgel, pretty steep, but doable. Then it goes to the old town of Bürgel. There is a fountain 80 meters after the gate passage.

Rail trail between Graitschen and Bürgel

Highlight • Cycleway

A nice bike path (not paved) on a former railway line. Cool in summer, sometimes nice and slippery in autumn / winter. The old and lovingly restored train station in Graitschen still bears witness to a little history.
