There are several springs on the Rieseberg. These are located at the boundary between the shell limestone layers and the overlying claystone.

Unfortunately, various sections are still very muddy at the moment So sturdy shoes, better rubber boots. Very challenging by bike

This small forest parking lot offers space for about four to five cars. Two more cars can be parked in a bay on the opposite side of the street.
