Every Saturday in winter starts at 6:00 pm an atmospheric Torchlight hike through Hohegeiß.
The tour is around three kilometres long and leads through the snow-covered village. The torches bathe the surroundings in warm light and make the tour an unforgettable experience - especially for families with children.
Afterwards there is mulled wine and bratwurstdirectly in front of the tourist information centre - freshly prepared by the shooting club.
