The fateful encounter between the dragon and the knight freed Kürbitz from its reign of terror but ended fatally for both. In honor of their savior, the villagers erected a particularly ornate tombstone for Knight Feilitzsch, with a relief showing the hero with sword and armor, the slain creature at his feet. This tombstone can still be seen today in the Salvator Church. The legend also remains a vivid part of the village culture. Those who want to follow the trail can go on a nearly six-kilometer-long Kürbitz lindworm path to search for clues." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://dam.destination.one/2720452/a262e6bdb5bd09ca464b38b18bf6e6a9e72851ff8c3d36dc16cc9c8accaebc35/.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > Home > Special > Destination.Data Details > Tour" --- GPX Share Lindworm path Kürbitz ===================== - 4.80 km long - Round trip - Difficulty: medium - Condition: easy - Hiking Grüntöne logo: Green leaf above the word "Grüntöne" on a green background. - 1:18 h - 4.80 km - 85 m - 85 m - 356 m - 441 m - 85 m - - Start: Church square Kürbitz - Destination: Church square Kürbitz The circular route presents the 800-year history of the village of Kürbitz as well as geological and scenic information about it.
