Hike from the hiking car park (hotel) Notschrei to the Schau-ins-Land tower, then over the English monument to Hofsgrund and back to the Notschrei. During the whole hike there were wonderful views of the Schau-ins-Land tower and the Feldberg. What I liked best was the descent from the Schau-ins-Land tower to Hofsgrund. There it went downhill on beautiful paths.
