Hohensax Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

Steep path to the castle. Fire pit with wood!
Then continue on the high trail towards Chueweid. (One of the most beautiful trails !!)

Beautiful old forgotten path

Highlight • Trail

Nice narrow, unmarked forest path and not shown on the Komoot map.
Once again a beautiful narrow and very quiet forest path, as I like it 😊.
