Great, idyllic but steep zigzag path.

This path zigzags from the district of Grethen-Hausen over several steep stairs (some with handrails) quite steeply up to the Limburg.
The path is named after Jakob Bößler, a blind violinist, who regularly walked this path alone from his home in Hausen to Limburg.
Jakob Bößler (born November 14, 1862 in Grethen) went blind at the age of 3. After attending elementary school, he traveled the world with his violin and his poodle for many decades. He played everything by ear. - His wife was also blind. Together they had two sons. In the documents available, it is specially mentioned in honor of this special man that the then Reich Chancellor Dr. Hans Luther (Chancellor from Jan. 1925 – May 1926) shook his hand.
