A scenic hike around the small but idyllicly situated Ore Mountains village.

After a steadily ascending section, you reach the height of the village and enjoy beautiful views of the surrounding villages and into the nature reserve "Schwarzwassertal". Then you descend into the valley on a romantically wild forest path, returning to the starting point. A shelter and resting benches invite you to linger.
