Hiking: Bendorf, Dr. Herring's cave and the Kastelberg

The surrounding forest is beautiful and this course offers many attractions including the cave of Dr Herring, magnificent pasture beeches, prehistoric entrenchments and the Kastelberg site, not to mention the plague cross in Bendorf cemetery and its legend.
