Wooden Dragon Tree Trunk

Highlight • Natural

Coming from the direction of Zeil, with enough imagination you can see an old dragon in the tree trunk, its mouth open, watching down at the path.

Zeiler Kapellenberg Trail

Highlight • Trail

For whatever reason, the section is not shown.
But the path starts at the left side of the donkey lift and then runs towards the "Ziegelanger Steige" where it goes down to Ziegelanger.
