May 28, 2023,Von Bad Karlshafen Würgassen zur Aussichtsplattform Weser-Skywalk

The way back over the cliff path is quite steep, partly over stone steps, very nice. The Weser Cycle Path was bustling with …

Beautiful short hike on the Weser Skywalk. We started at the parking lot in Würgassen, after about 600m you change to the entrance on a nice shady path that takes you to the pulpit. Here we enjoy a magnificent view 80 m above the Weser. Back down via the Karlshafener cliff climb to the footpath and cycle path to Würgassen.
