The footbridge leads around the Kobersfelsen directly on the water. It is really a wonderful hiking trail. If you have time, take a short detour up the Kobersfelsen. From up there you have a great view.

Unfortunately, the hanging path has been closed since spring 2023 after a rockfall. The bypass that is on komoot was too adventurous for me (neck and leg break tour) so I changed my route

Very impressive. Then it goes very comfortably …
