Today, a sow ran up to me. She turned around about 20 meters in front of me. Then a bunch of piglets followed her. It was an exciting encounter.

Consistently super signposted (high praise) with D... you can walk without navigation
Great hike with sometimes wide hiking highways and then single trails again.
A small detour to the cliffs was definitely worth it (it only goes horizontally....no extra meters in altitude🤔✌️)

The panoramic view of the Eder just great.
Hang-gliders were also …

Not too high and not too far today 😊!
The Drauchentour is worth it, there are some good views 👀 of the Eder, but from the Eisenberg more of the birches.
Unfortunately the cellar tower 🔐 would certainly have a good view from 17m ^ higher.
