Right at the beginning of the route, after a short but steep ascent, the hiker is surprised with a wind harp by Jutta Kelm. Here you should sit down and listen to the music that the wind makes when it strikes the strings. Although the strings are all tuned the same, you can hear different tones. The wind speed also influences the tones.
Wind harps are also called Aeolian harps after the Greek god of the winds, Aeolus.

... a wind harp - the windier the more intense the sound emanating from it ...
