A perfect singletrack, although it doesn't look like it in kommot! Very flowy towards the Max Grotto

By far the best bakery in the entire region. Shopping is a must, in my opinion, if you're there.

Beautiful cave, please only view from above. Climbing inside is only for experts and outside of the protected period.

Until October 1976, the Rinnenbrunn Forester's Lodge stood here. The lodge was also a very popular tourist restaurant with a history spanning over 100 years. An information board at the rest area tells the story.

Open Tuesday to Saturday from 5:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. They serve delicious cakes and natural sourdough breads. Unfortunately, it's too big for my hiking backpack.

A great starting point on the Norissteig trail. Not too difficult, and climbing through the cave is an experience.
