Here a beautiful and narrow path goes along the long rock formation "Altes Heer".

The rock formation "Altes Heer" on the Franco-German Burgenweg or Sagensteig, between Friedenskreuz / Herberg and Florenberger Hals. Super haunted!

Crisp ascent on a very beautiful forest path. Part of the Felsenland Legends Trail. Very beautiful, very idyllic!

Here, I recommend not taking the 5 Castles Trail (right/north), but rather walking directly along the top of the rock formation. This way, you'll get another close-up view of some beautiful rock formations.

A steep zigzag path leads up to this pretty rock formation... On the narrow, now flat path you can admire the beautiful rocks in peace
