A pleasant hike around the birthplace of Katharina Weisgerber, known as "Schultze Kathrin," along historic boundary stones from the year 1777. On the way, a detour to the Mariengrotto is worthwhile, where the path is also accessible for people with disabilities. Surrounded by magnificent forests, the path leads to impressive viewpoints and historic sites as well as to the picturesque pond area at Jungenwald with a managed hut offering very reasonable prices.
