From here you have a great view of the castle...and a beautiful but steep path downhill to Stolzenfels.

I didn't stop for a break, even though it would have been worth it. But there's a small rest stop at the intersection. It's a bit run down, but still somehow beautiful and, above all, shady!

Always walk alongside the main path. It's also easy to ride uphill, with a few roots along the way.

The pub is a nice place to stop after the tour... a cold drink... and, if you're hungry, order something tasty from the pizzeria or Turkish snack bar next door. The owner tolerates this 😎 Great!
