Slutty 🥰. Always a guarantee for a great nature tour. Today with the main focus on local history. Despite well-known places on the route (Hutten, Brandenstein Castle), there were a few new things to discover and you can tell on this cultural trail that it is still very new and very lovingly designed. Evidence of this is, among other things, …

A very nice cultural trail 👍
I ran it slightly modified. I parked at the castle, from there it was 2.5km through the forest before I followed the original path. The route is very varied and you have great views.
