A beautiful, spacious leisure area with a water treading facility and playground welcomes hikers directly at the hiking parking lot. The hikers' shelter invites you to stay even in adverse weather conditions. A very exciting eye-catcher here is the rock face, in which the massive forces of the earth can be seen impressively through the folds of the rock.

The B6 is a longer and more challenging hiking trail, but it leads mainly through wooded terrain and thus offers good protection from the sun.
