Hiking

Steep, narrow path on a slope on which people were said to have smuggled coffee in the past.

The Schmidter smuggled coffee from Belgium to Germany at night via this narrow path. Great narrow path with easy demands for surefootedness. Unfortunately a bit slippery when wet. Then you should have sticks with you.
