It's a challenging tour, but if you love nature, wild deserted paths and picturesque views, you'll get your money's worth here. Although there are only two notable climbs, they are tough. In particular, the longer ascent at the end of the tour hits your legs hard again.

Great round with many small paths, some of which are so densely overgrown that you would want a machete. Very varied!

Speaking of presenting: the pretty little town of Beilstein, which is usually full of tourists, …

We park at Engelport Monastery and walk up the hill behind the monastery. In spring, Solomon's seals grow here, as do lots of primroses, and even columbines in the forest above. Once you're at the top, you'll find benches, a small viewing platform, and the large cross. Behind the Sauststall, you'll go through a beautiful beech forest. Above Beistein, we …
