Tips

Andrea und Huskys 🐺

August 24, 2026

Hiking

The massive sandstone tells of the changing ownership of the Thurnauer Wald over more than a thousand years. Anyone who looks closely at the carved names and coats of arms will discover a small chronicle in the middle of the forest. Particularly exciting: The stone's depiction goes back to Charlemagne.

Mountain biking

The boulder weighing tons stands at a crossroads in the south-eastern part of the forest area. You should look at it from left to right, because the sculptor immortalized the former owners of the forest on it. To do this, he used numbers, fonts adapted to the respective time, names and coats of arms.

Nicely crafted stone at the western fork. There is also an opportunity to rest here.
