Recommended as a cycling route. Not so nice for hiking. But enjoying the Külftal valley in the sunshine is definitely worthwhile. 🌞

Since the railing is missing for quite a stretch, you need to have a good head for heights on the narrow walkway 😏

There is now a hiking map here; the old wooden signpost is apparently no longer there.

A nature-oriented trail for those with good shoes and an aversion to wide forest roads. The fallen trees are mostly easy to avoid, but overall the path continues to grow through the undergrowth.

Nice fitness trail with the fallen trees: climb over them, crawl under them, or walk around them.
