Guided Story

Look up at the ridge of the Butterberg stretching above you. Did you know this area has been a nature reserve since 1952? It's one of the oldest in the region. Behind you, if you look closely, you'll spot the spire of the Liebfrauenkirche. Here's a little secret: sometimes, if you listen carefully, you might hear the calls of rare birds that have made this place their home. This narrow ridge path you're walking on was once a well-kept secret known only to locals. Now, you can enjoy it as you feel the gentle breeze rustling through the treetops.
