Very nicely designed and not only children will enjoy coaxing delicate sounds from the instruments in this tree trunk!

Mandelstein summit cross

Highlight • Summit

The detour here is worth it, because it is a summit cross. Whoever "collects" it will have his pleasure! There is no rest stop here ... only the silence and the great view.

The view from further back is great. If you have a head for heights (unfortunately I'm not one of them), you should definitely take the few steps to the Skywalk - from there the view is certainly even better!

Mandelstein Gate

Highlight • Natural Monument

Anyone hiking to Mandelstein should definitely do the circumnavigation. This approximately 500-meter-long circular trail (komoot.com/de-de/highlight/7524734) leads around the summit and also passes through the Mandelstein Gate, a rock formation below the summit that is truly worth seeing.

A beautiful route with bearable gradients. It only gets a little steeper just before the summit. Otherwise, moderate inclines alternate with flat stretches. It's nice going there. You are - as usual in the Wald4tel - alone in the open. If the weather cooperates, like today, then it's an impressive tour. Almost exclusively forest and meadow. Only finally asphalt. Full …

The second fixed start of our hiking holiday was completed today. The weather couldn't have been better, even though it was quite cloudy. From the Skywalk, we had a fantastic, and above all, unobstructed view. Even though it was almost midday, we were the only visitors. Well, there are worse things. On the descent and return journey, I had to …

Today we finally did the hike up the Mandelstein. I was really looking forward to it, even though we'd already been up there twice. The weather was perfect. The hike was again very beautiful, and to top it all off, the Skywalk and the entire summit were ours to ourselves. It couldn't have been better.

As expected a beautiful hardcore s & f hike. Walking time of 3:40 hours is compared to a total time of 7:48. THAT says it all. Only the legal lunch break of 30 minutes was observed, the rest of 3:38 was spent looking and taking photos. Paths consistently beautiful. Some are not easy to recognize as such and lead to …
