      Demanding route. Alternative route for those who don't want to walk along the Selbitz for hours. Surefootedness required.

          The Felsensteig in the Hölental is absolutely recommended

            You walk along the rock path here, a wonderful, wild hiking trail with lots of views and lots of rocks. Very beautiful!
