The Felsenweg in Zilshausen is walkable again! Due to the snow break in January 2023, about 150 trees made the path impassable. These have now been deliberately cleared only so much that in some places it has become an obstacle course with many challenges. The route is therefore partly significantly more demanding. A T T E N T I O N: Be sure to walk the route from the sports field southwards and in the forest from Mörzer Bank northwards, as the path is only marked in this direction with the Felsenweg symbol and yellow dots. Please be sure to bring a navigation option like Outdooractive. The route has only a few benches.
