Information
Tiras MountainsSouth-west of Helmeringhausen between C13 and D707 lie the Tiras Mountains, largely unknown to general tourism. The bizarre massif of dark granite borders a wide plain and is very impressive. A couple of farms have joined to form the Tiras Mountain Conservancy. They offer mountain hikes, camping and accommodation on a small scale.
