There is also a cycling route of approximately 39 kilometres, a varied DiscGolfPark and the story of a warm mineral spring.

Culture and Rural Traditions

The stone statue of Saint Isidore stands on a tiered pedestal. An inscription indicates that it was erected in 1749. The life-size figure wears contemporary clothing, has its hands folded in prayer and is accompanied by an angel holding the saint’s hat. The visible details in particular make this religious monument an attraction worth taking a closer look at.

The House of Traditions and Crafts, no. 17, is a living exhibition of rural traditions and crafts, especially agriculture. It was opened to the public in 2018. Visits are possible during events held there or for groups by prior arrangement. This makes the house one of the attractions where the timing of the visit plays an important role.
