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.

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).
