Bittelschießer Valley

Highlight • Canyon

Here, the ascent of the castle is well explained on the ascent on small boards, so that you can clearly see how castles were repeatedly adapted to the needs and have changed from pure defensive buildings to representative buildings

Today's hike with Teddy took us along quite varied paths, partly along the Lauchert River, past caves, and up some rocks. The return journey through the forest was quite peaceful, accompanied by birdsong.

We finished by visiting the Hornstein castle ruins – the mountain inn there reopens in May.
