Mountain biking

The gallows head is a hill north of Zimberg near Arborn and has an altitude of 486 Merter. The lava settled up here in block form. The gallows head is easily accessible, as a herd of goats regularly keeps the undergrowth nice and short. On the summit you have a wonderful view and the shapes of the stones invite you to rest or picnic.

I specifically asked a local. According to him, the hill is called "cliff" and popularly "gallows head".
