Equipped with a picking bucket and a map, you can pick your own apples and cherries, depending on the season, and receive expert advice. At the end, the apples are weighed—and you take home your very own harvest basket. It doesn't get any fresher than this!

Even though the path is not well maintained, this section of the Luther Trail offers occasional seating and a magnificent view of Kleinfahner.
