Leisurely walk through the Süchtelner Heights in the footsteps of Saint Irmgardis.
On the Süchtelner Heights circuit, you explore a geologically exciting area. The circular walking route leads through a varied forest area with some ascents and descents. In contrast, the field edges offer wide views of the landscape. The game enclosure is a draw not only for the little visitors. Besides the diverse nature, the heights circuit also touches on culturally and historically interesting monuments.

Roadbook
The first section of the heights circuit passes several notable points. Past the water reservoir from 1907, a memorial cross made of basalt lava catches the eye by the path. From there, the Irmgardis chapel can already be seen in the distance. Upon reaching it, you can use one of the many seating options and admire the chapel.
Following the slightly lower forest path at the Irmgardis spring, forest and small clearings alternate. The further course leads out into the open agricultural landscape, which provides a contrast to the dense forest. Resting places at the edge of the forest with views into the distance invite a short pause.
After re-entering the forest, the circular route passes the game enclosure to the car park with an adjacent mini-golf course. The following section is accompanied by gentle climbs and descents and leads through dense forest back to the starting point.
