You can do it, but there are more interesting ways than this. The entrance is a bit difficult to find.

Beautiful little tour over the Hexenberg - apart from the feeder path to the end of the town, I didn't think that was that great🙄 Otherwise very quiet with wonderful views🤩 and great paths🥰 👌 - perfect for an evening to clear your head😅 Have a nice weekend 🙋‍♀️

Today, at the end of the day, we hiked a Bad Berkaer circular trail again. Around the Hexenberg it was surprisingly promising and the paths were mostly natural.
