Beautiful medieval path partially preserved with magnificent views of the surrounding mountains above the forest.

Very nice little hike with a bit of elevation gain, to reach the castle of Salm currently being renovated.
This walk can easily be combined with that of the Mennonites heritage trail. (5km)
