Why do I keep going there? There is no view - the drive up from Dossenheim always seems so long to me - it's not really that nice. But: The climb is always a good challenge. Not too steep, but consistently in a pleasant range. And the descent is worth it (but watch out for the cars!). Oh yes, and as a running highlight: The trails around the Weißer Stein are of course amazing, so definitely try them in all directions!
