At 435.5 meters, the Kanstein is a highlight on the hiking trail from Worbis to Bodenstein. From here you have a beautiful view of the Zehnsberg and the Hahletal.

During the time I was at the train station there was construction work going on and the German railway signposts were misleading. You have to pass the station building on the right and not on the left.
