Right on Bundesstraße 169, which runs through the community, is the Bauernbarockkirche (“Baroque Farmers’ Church”), built in 1701 and now a protected monument, with its carved altar and a 130-year-old Jehmlich organ.

A further attraction in the community is the 795-m-high Kuhberg (“Cow Mountain”) with the Prinz-Georg-Turm (tower) which affords an unrivalled view of the neighbouring communities. Moreover, the Bergwiesenerlebnispfad (“Mountain Meadow Experience Path”), which features indigenous vegetation and Scottish Highland cattle, makes for an inviting walk.
