February 1, 2026, Start/Finish of the Schifflersgrund Border Trail

An absolutely must-see museum on the original site, complete with original border fortifications. You can walk along the border installation (green belt) and get a sense of what the situation was like back then.

The view of Asbach from the spur in front of Altenstein Castle is truly beautiful. There's a new seating area here.

Not only ancient history has left its mark on Altenstein Castle, but also the division of Germany. The ensemble is quite interesting.

The main path is well-trodden, but the trail marks on the ridge itself seem rather untrustworthy...
