Highlight (Segment) • Trail

At least as strenuous and exciting as climbing the 100 steps. Steep in the lower and middle sections. Shortly before reaching the second cross path, there are narrow hairpin bends with Rehling.

Part of the Schinderhannesweg.

October 3, 2021,100 Stufen und Hexentreppe von Neuweilnau

Small but nice round to the 100 steps and past the witch's staircase.
At the highest point I tested the storm resistance of my spirit stove.
The timing was perfect - it started raining back at the car.
