🌿 Magical moments around the Schaumberg
A varied trail with panoramic views, art, and history. From rustic forests to quiet places of power to impressive sculptures along the way – this tour combines nature with meaning. It's the small discoveries off the trail, such as the book tree or the artistic Thol-Eye, that make it so appealing.

The Tholey Heart Trail is a barrier-free circular hiking trail below the Schaumberg mountain, particularly suitable for families and seniors, and stimulates the cardiovascular system with its bracing climate and beautiful views. The trail is relatively flat, but with short inclines and declines, and offers special impressions through places of power and impressive giant trees.
