There are many great trails around the Freudenthal Monument with beautiful views of the Böhme Valley. It reminded me of the Weser Uplands.

A great, long boardwalk with steps along the Böhme River. Mostly renovated, but there are still a few old sections. All of them are safe to walk on. However, they are constantly slippery, as they are located in the permanently wetland area along the Böhme River. So please always be careful.
