A lovingly designed and varied path always along the water, sometimes over bridges and walkways. There are plenty of benches along the way for resting and even an opportunity for Kneipp therapy.

This lovingly designed model stands at the junction to the original Jakobskapelle. It's just over 600m and the way down is worth it, even if you're on a bike.
