chestnuts in the autumn, contribute to the large offer for connoisseurs of culinary delicacies. Many restaurants and other food outlets invite to speciality weeks.On the

Hikers and lovers of nature are asked to respect the property and traditions of this region and to approach nature with care. Along the way notice
