Short journey today, Niedersachswerfen.
The Salamander Trail is a well signposted hiking trail. There is also a lot to see in terms of landscape.
The path is one of 7, with a total of 31 stamps.

Beautiful varied route. Beautiful white rocks, narrow paths, rolling open fields, views of the quarry and a few climbs! We also came across a number of abandoned houses, some of which had been absorbed by nature. Lovely walk!
The speed that Komoot indicates is not correct by the way😅 we walked a bit slower.

Highly recommended 👍😊. Small circular route suitable for families (but without prams, as there are stairs), very well signposted with beautiful highlights. Great praise !!!

The "Fire Salamander Trail" leads along the foot of the Mühlberg and crosses open spaces and dense beech forest. The paths are varied, mountain hiking trails, meadow trails and forest trails.
Highly Recommended!
