Beautiful view from a meadow - unfortunately, however, without a rest stop.
A beautiful path to the "Nussdorfer Hütte am Fresswasen" (hiking marking "red cross") begins to the right of the vantage point - in the direction of "FH Heldenstein".

July 20, 2025,🚶🏼‍♀️Back from Paris, und gleich Wege, die man sich sparen kann.
