Wooden Frame on Herzog-Jäger Trail Waldenbuch

Highlight • Viewpoint

Probably the most photographed motif on the Herzog Jäger path. Even the tripod for the self-timer was thought of.

A path that deserves the title “Premium”.
Very well signposted, all paths easily accessible. Lots of nature trails otherwise fine gravel.
The Schaichtal is worth seeing, the informative boards and the great view of Waldenbuch
