Walk around the Landeskrone discovering an exercise trail as well as a bee nature trail. The tour takes you through the forest and along the fields. You will have a great view of the surroundings. At the edge of the trail is the summit of the Landeskrone (420 metres above sea level) with a great panoramic view and the "Bismarckturm", a monument which was created in 1901 by the architect Wilhelm Kreis.
The Landeskrone was formed from a volcano about 34 million years ago. An avenue of linden trees planted in 1840 begins at the foot of the Landeskrone and leads to the Fahrstraße, 178 steps will take you upwards. The hiking trails are well signposted and at the summit the restaurant "Burghotel Landeskrone" and the lookout tower will invite you to take a break. The "Burghotel Landeskrone" has limited opening hours. For further information: https://www.burghotel-landeskrone.de/
