Tie your climbing boots

You will find powerful places as well as places full of charisma. Give yourself time to explore the landscape. You do not have to be a spiritualist neither a mystic. Enjoy, take a break, take time off from the hustle and bustle and simply do something unusual: just sit still and take a break.

Cultural and historical walk -"Stones have a story to tell"
Paths through an old cultural landscape
Interesting and worth knowing information about the origin and cultivation of landscape, animals and plants, about people’s life and work in the course of time.
On our way we will encounter wrought stones either as cuboids next to an old building or as parts of benches, steps, gates, fountains, fence support, or as milestones in the fields and meadows, or as mill stones in the old flour mills near the streams. The stones were once picked up from the stubbed meadows and then used to laminate beautiful walls; mighty walls were built next to the houses to protect them from floods. Stones were also used as paving stones in streets and village squares and all of them have a story to tell.
