Gollum Wooden Sculpture on the Auenlandweg

Highlight • Monument

"Aaah, nasty hobbit" - Gollum is sitting here in a typical pose on a tree stump. If you turn around, you can literally hear him whispering behind you.

No matter how big the ant in Siegen may be, the spider is scarier...
At least for me.
The Shire Trail is simply unique and comparisons are somehow unnecessary.
We should be grateful for any active beautification of our hiking trails, no matter where or how small/large.

Auenlandweg (Shire Trail)

Highlight • Trail

Beautiful circular hiking trail with ingenious works of art from Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. Sturdy shoes make sense. Not suitable for prams.

Very beautiful circular trail.
Some sections are challenging, and surefootedness is required.
