Coming from Henau, the steps in the direction of Schwarzerden are very steep and wet. Challenging to drive but also easy to push and definitely worth a little detour and some effort. A really great place to stay.

If it's wet, please be careful, the bridge is very slippery. Iron sticking out on the steps. Watch after !!!!
