This beautiful hike starts right next to the free parking lot.
I have to say: It was really fun, and I highly recommend this tour.
It's very varied and includes everything a hiker's heart desires. And anyone who knows me knows: I love narrow paths! 😊

Last week I was cycling in the Schwarzatal and of course I discovered a few hiking trails. This morning I put together a tour and set off from the car park at 12:20. Sometimes it was sunny, sometimes it was foggy.
