Salzstieg Trail S1

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Was there last Sunday and almost didn't recognize the Salzstieg again, what bark beetles and Havester left there is depressing.

Uphill a torture, better drive down, which is demanding enough! Luckily, there are parallel trails in the forest that can be used.
