Something completely different in the Main-Spessart region… a nice change of pace

If you don't live near the "real" mountains, a beautiful via ferrata.
At the Edelweis, you can enjoy a wonderful view of the Main-Land near Karlstadt.
The descent back to the parking lot runs a long way above the edge of the drop-off with further views and forest paths, later through vineyards and wildly overgrown slopes. Here, surefootedness is required.
