Sporty Round with a View of the Wern ValleySmall but impressive – that could describe the market town of Thüngen, which is traversed by the Wern creek. Several castles dominate the townscape and point to a varied history and former importance of Thüngen. There are several themed trails in the district, and for a complete circuit, we choose the combination of the hiking rounds »Around the Vineyard« and »Into the Wern Valley« for views from several directions.
