From here you have a beautiful view of the historic city and city wall. It's worth it, even if you just drive by below.

Through the well-thought-out "Trail Tolerance" concept, there are usually no irritations between the different users! With caution and consideration, these beautiful paths - away from the more or less "paved" forest roads for utility forest "maintenance" - are wonderful to walk (ride?). A good idea!
