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.

The clouds are dark, we walk through the town in drizzle, see a multitude of hiking trails marked at the crossroads, and our path leads us up the mountain.
