📝 This parking lot is located a bit away from the official starting point – quieter, larger, and more conveniently located. It's just as good (if not better) as a starting point for the Seven Gorges Trail. It's especially ideal for those arriving by car who want a more relaxed start. 💡 Tip: If the central parking lot is full, head here instead – the trailhead is just a few steps away.

📍 Erdesbach This is both historic and atmospheric: The Erdesbach Mill tells the story of old crafts – and the accompanying weir makes the water rush. The weir used to regulate the water and harness power; today it's a tranquil place where nature and the past meet. A small waterfall, moss on the stones, birdsong – and, in the middle of it all, a view of the old mill. 💡 Tip: If you stop here, listen carefully – the steady rushing sound has an almost meditative quality. Ideal for a short break between experiencing nature and enjoying a culinary treat.

Another recommended park would be the cemetery, then the fish ladder would be the last highlight 😃

A very beautiful spot on the Glan River. An old mill with a fish ladder, and the river is currently full of water. You can also park right here.
