Great hiking trail through the Wental. Whether on foot, by bike or with a stroller. Hardly a notable slope.

You feel small in this narrow valley cut under the giant rock on both sides, which lift their peaks steeply upwards to let them shine in the sun. One can enjoy a trace of solitude in the silence, turning one's gaze upwards to all the trees that seem to spring from the mossy rock. Fantasies gush about times gone by and about the life that found its center here. Until you finally reach the vastness of the landscape again and like to turn around again to experience the magic of the "enchanted valley" again.
