View of the Saupurzel

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view extends over the dry grassland to the striking elevation of the Saupurzel - the mountain is really called that. At 300 m above sea level, the Saupurzel is also Karlstadt's local mountain.

One of the most beautiful panoramic tours, with breathtaking views. Pine forests, dry meadows, and limestone rocks line the path, as do the numerous thistles, butterflies, and flowers. At the Edelweiss, you'll have a wonderful view over the entire Main Valley. Simply my favorite thing to do. 🥾🎒
