Sehnsuchtsbirke Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

A wonderful resting place not far from the hiking car park with a wonderful view over Plettenberg and the mountain landscape. Comfortable benches invite you to linger and there is also a waste bin.

Parking for a lap around the Saley. Of course, when the weather is right, it fills up quickly. So better come a little earlier.
