Hiking

The early ramparts are located directly on the path between the Thüringer Hütte and the Baummossfiguren. Very beautiful path and a very nice resting place at the Gangolsfskapelle

Amazingly well-preserved ramparts from the old days. It's also great that you can see the original route on a map.
