Stage description

On damp autumn days, the ground can be wet and slippery, so it’s a good idea to use walking sticks.

Informative regarding glassblowing (glassworks) and the Romans (Limes). Good for exercise. Once the Feldberghaus has been renovated, it will once again offer excellent dining at the summit. The destination itself is also lovely and interesting, with the restaurant and the International School.
