Highlight • Historical Site

Not very long, but very nice path. Partially almost alpine-like. On the northern Trampler view of the Großer Feldberg.

View of Großer Feldberg from Altkönig

Highlight • Viewpoint

Once you have made the climb through the scree, you are in a somehow mystical place.
Especially when the weather is bad and it is hazy, foggy and the surrounding area is covered in clouds.

There are refreshment stops at the start / finish point (das-waldtraut.de/) and …
