Pure nature and wonderful views of Marienburg and the wine village of Briedel. A hike through the flora and fauna of the unique wine cultural landscape Zeller Land.
The Uhu-Steig owes its name to a pair of eagle owls that once nested in the Uhu rock. The attentive hiker discovers along the way a variety of plants and animals that have made their home in the slate rocks, as well as birds that use the thermals on the steep slope for spectacular flight stunts. The pretty wooden eagle owl points the way along dreamy paths and slate rocks.
