Schlangenweg (Karl Ludwig Haus Ascent)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The "normal way" to the Karl Ludwig house, the Schlangenweg, was completely renovated on 11/6/2019 and is from now on again for everyone and every woman without problem walkable!

As a popular destination, this refuge offers everything a hiker's or climber's heart desires. But above all, the best food and the same view. A detour to the nearby peaks of Heukuppe or Predigtstuhl is a must!
