Christinen Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

From Berggasthof Eisenberg a path leads to the source. But why not go straight to the Panoramaweg, then you come over here too.

March 30, 2025,MTB Tour - Eisenberg mit Krötenkuppentrail 🥷🐿️😎⛰️
I did a loop up Eisenberg in perfect conditions. The descent, especially the trail sections, were good and fun. Unfortunately, Komoot was acting up a bit and something was missing. Komoot stopped working completely for my fellow rider. Maybe it was too cold 🤨

Today I wanted to see the 🌞 again because everything was in the fog here.

Briefly checked the webcam from the Eisenberg and off we went outside.
