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 🙋‍♀️
