Numerous sights are located along the trail, including the remains of a Roman watchtower, historic fountains such as the Saubrünnle, and the Jupiter Bank, an idyllic resting place.

    Hiking

    You can admire this path all year round, but you should wear good shoes.
    You can also ride a bike. It's not a paved path, it goes over hill and dale through the forest.
