Narrow passage on Bergringweg, Oybin

Highlight • Gorge

We return to the cemetery and take the circular hiking trail, which leads us further across the plateau.

We walk along the high cliffs, the slope steep beside us, past the inn, sometimes very narrow between the rocks.

We descended to Oybin through the Ritterschlucht gorge …
