    Hiking

    The area around Schloss Neidstein is always worth a hike, but my personal highlight is the tightrope walk (part of the Pendolino hiking trail). A treat from the first to the last meter, absolutely recommendable.

    Hiking

    The GPS data matches the ridge path, but not the Neidstein.
