Idyllic avenue with a comfortable bench, ideal for a short break in the middle of nature. Especially when the birch trees are in bloom.

The two beech trees on the Soonwaldsteig have connected to each other. A branch of one beech tree was grown into the wood of the neighboring beech tree.

Climbing the tower is definitely worth it, even if we couldn't see that far today due to the fog
