Touristically relevant sights: The region has many interesting sights to offer. Visit Ludwigseck Castle, a former hunting lodge with beautiful gardens, or the ruins of Wallenstein Castle on the mountain of the same name. For nature lovers, there is the Knüll Wildlife Park or the Hohe Warte observation tower with breathtaking views of the surrounding area.
