The view from the tower is worth it! The picnic area is great, as the tables and benches are made of bricks, it is a good idea to bring some seating mats.

The path to the lookout point is particularly beautiful. The view is limited by the tall trees, but in the open area it extends to the Calauer church tower and further. A very nice, quiet place to linger.

The V-shaped valley “Hölle” is a remarkable, natural valley on the northern edge of the Calauer Schweiz, which creates an almost mystical atmosphere with its narrow, overgrown shape and dark spruce trees. The path down into the “Hölle” is narrow and deeply cut, and this is precisely what makes hiking through it particularly attractive. Water and precipitation once collected here, which led to the formation of a moor. Today, the traces of this past are still visible, and nature conservation measures have contributed to the valley being part of the European NATURA 2000 protected area network. Anyone who dares to descend will be rewarded with a unique, unspoilt landscape that feels cool and damp - perfect for a short, adventurous hike. At the lower exit there is an information board that reveals more about the ecological importance and the renaturation projects of the area. The descent is particularly worthwhile from the Kuhringsberg, where there is direct access to the valley.

The Kuhringsberg viewing point is a quiet place that is perfect for a short rest. After maintenance work was carried out here a few years ago, the view has opened up again and in clear weather you can enjoy the view towards Calau. The view remains largely unobstructed, especially in the autumn and winter months. Surrounded by heathland that has regained space due to the removal of pine and birch trees, you can feel the close connection between landscape conservation and experiencing nature. Even if the fog limits the view, the place conveys a pleasant serenity that invites you to linger.
