A beautiful section with numerous sculptures along the way, it's well-visited by hikers and cyclists. Mutual consideration is encouraged here.

Right next to the Hotel Restaurant Hermannsee is the lake of the same name. In front of the hotel is a large parking lot for the hotel, the wildlife park, and hikers.

The tower is cordoned off and inaccessible. The last renovation was in 1984. I assume that after more than 40 years, it's time for a thorough inspection of the tower and its 125 steps leading to the viewing platform.
