Scenic route: Forest and meadow paths with views of Staufenberg Castle and from there a panoramic 360-degree view. There is a place to stop at the castle restaurant; walking sticks and at least sturdy shoes are advisable on the last forest section (N-O) because it is somewhat muddy there and nettles line the path in summer.
