Beautiful varied tour with beautiful panoramic views of Scharfenstein Castle and alpine sections. As a small tip, I would recommend a subsequent visit to Warmbad Wolkenstein to relax and regenerate your strength. There is also a nice and beautifully designed small sauna area.

Along the Wilisch cycle path, near the "Schüllermühle" mill, a rest area invites visitors to linger. Here, visitors will find not only seating but also an information panel and a diorama illustrating the settlement history of Gelenau. The individual elements were created as part of the Gelenau Chainsaw Event 2022. https://www.gelenau.de/news/2022-2/rastplatz
