View over Zeyern

Highlight • Viewpoint

The extensive deforestation due to the bark beetle infestation has opened up some fantastic views. A small consolation for these massive interventions and the destroyed paths. But the view here is truly magnificent.

Rennersberg wayside shrines and remains of the linden tree

Highlight • Monument

In 2007, Cyclone Kyrill destroyed the Rennersberg linden tree. Two wayside shrines dating from the 17th or 18th century stood beneath its shelter.

⚔️ Festung Rosenberg

Highlight • Castle

Fantastic fortress. Unfortunately, not everything is accessible for free, but the tours should be very interesting (I haven't done any myself yet).
