Due to its size, the parish church is also called a hall church.

Was here during my "Johannesweg hike". Very nice atmosphere and the homemade apple strudel was simply delicious.😍

Something new every year: a small suspension bridge (only for lightweights) and a photo wooden stick have been added again - the designers always have nice ideas 🥰

The beautiful field path initially leads relatively flat along the Hiesbach, then climbs steeply for a short time at the first fish pond and then leads more comfortably up to the Hiesbach settlement.

Nice, not too long hike with a wonderful view, which is also doable with children. The Burgstall Gorge is a special highlight for off-road children but also for adults. An approx. 20 m long rock crevice for slim people. But of course also the “summit victory” for young and old.
