All-inclusive service for beetles and Co. :) In this "hotel" insects can nestle and feel comfortable. It's nice that the small creatures find a protected place here.

Easy hike in front of the front door with an interesting section on the Gr. linden head. Here a nice view of Glashütten, Atzelberg and up to the Feldberg .😍
Strangely, Komoot recorded the altitude difference uphill and downhill differently...🤔

The rustling of the leaves under your feet, the rays of the sun pamper your face. A beautiful circular route with a great view. A wonderful autumn walk.
