We start our tour in Bollschweiler.
The path to the Stone Age caves is narrow and requires a certain level of head for heights. Sturdy shoes are an advantage here.
When this is over, the paths are wider again and lead us through an idyllic landscape.
From the condition it is an easy tour.
Have fun hiking.
