Beautiful hiking trail near the bank of the Nister and pleasantly shady on sunny days.

The area is called Wendener Allgäu because it bears some resemblance to the Bavarian Allgäu.

On weekends, the old railway line from Freudenberg to Wildenburg station is only partially suitable for racing cyclists, who show little to no consideration for families with children (and, for example, with bicycles). In some sections, gravel (Little Tyrol) lies in the curves. One should also pay attention to the bollards there. Furthermore, anyone looking for examples of—let's say—a less than optimal use of taxpayers' money will find them on this cycle path. Large sections are enclosed by a fence, the purpose and necessity of which remain a mystery to me.
