Loop
The journey continues up to the summit of the Töpfer, where nature has created a veritable stone zoo. Rock formations that look like a turtle, a parrot or a brooding hen can be discovered. A special place is the Europe Cross, from where the view over the Mandau Valley is a highlight. Historically, these mountains have served as a refuge for centuries, including for the monks who once lived in the nearby monastery. Some sections of the rocky paths are narrow or uneven. The fresh mountain air and the scent of the surrounding pine forests make the excursion a gentle experience.
