Buchheller Valley

Highlight • Gorge

The Buchheller is something special: 16 pits, eleven tributaries and seven nature reserves border this small stream. The valley itself is a very beautiful nature reserve with interesting stone formations.

Saukaute Shelter

Highlight • Mountain Hut

There are several forked paths in the area of the refuge. The paths are given names. A good shelter in bad weather. Otherwise, the hut is also great for a rest.
