Beautiful vineyards. Worth exploring on foot

Beautiful little mini climbing trail that starts with a short ladder. Then it goes over rocks and some steps with ropes that lead to the Göthepunkt lookout tower. If you don't want to walk the short distance of 500 meters, you can walk along the paved Alte Straße.

If you should avoid during the holiday season and Saturday and Sunday sometimes 2 bicycles pass each other and the stinging and blackberry thorns hang on the path.

Demanding but an absolute must if you are in Obernhof or on the Lahn hiking trail. The ascent is rewarded with a beautiful view at the Goethepunkt.

Rocks and a little climbing in Goethe's footsteps ... Everything very secure.
