Experience history in the Leiberger Forest

This short hike takes you through the Leiberger Wald nature reserve. The densely overgrown deciduous forest and the Faulegrundsbach stream characterize this route with its species-rich nature. The old Andepen church and the plague cemetery are important cultural and historical features along the way. In the 17th century, 400 plague victims were buried in the plague cemetery. The sandstone plague cross commemorates the epidemic. Even today, an annual "procession" leads to this mystical place in
memory of the dead.
