Pure nature and magnificent views of Marienburg Castle and the wine village of Briedel. A hike through the flora and fauna of the unique wine culture landscape.
The Eagle Owl Trail owes its name to a pair of eagle owls that once nested in the Eagle Owl Rock. The attentive hiker discovers various plants and animals along the path, which have made their home in the slate rocks, or birds that use the thermals on the steep slope for spectacular aerial displays. The pretty wooden eagle owl points the way along dreamy paths and slate rocks.
