The Kindelsberg and its tower are always worth a trip. It can be particularly nicely combined with the 14 kilometer long Kindelsberg path.

Some paths were not without problems, since there is a lot of wood around. But overall a nice tour 😁

Great route with fantastic views and some highlights.
The climb from Müsen to Kindelsberg on the way back was tough.

A tour that leads almost exclusively along narrow hiking trails, or sometimes wider paths. You walk a maximum of 5-600m on asphalt. Partly in the sun, a lot in the forest, you pass the natural outdoor pool. You can eat very well in the beautiful Kindelsberg restaurant, and climb the tower via a good 100 steps right at the entrance. …
