The route climbs gently almost continuously, gaining a total elevation of 150 meters. Unfortunately, more and more forest disappears along the route.

A very nice location with a view of the Kornberg ski slope. The interior is also very nice outside. Thankfully, they're open again, so we don't want to complain too much, but there's still room for improvement.

A very nice restaurant with a lovely outdoor area. A great place for a break and a snack, they serve coffee and cake, and of course schnitzel and other dishes at a fair price. This is the perfect place to start your hike or mountain bike tour; there's plenty of free parking nearby.
