Every season offers a special and beautiful landscape. The Saale with its dams, the challenging mountains and still some cozy inns are always worth a visit. Tip: Restaurant Fuchsbau in Walsburg and small church in Dörflas

The circular route is very beautiful and well signposted. But you can also spontaneously take a different route; there are many good paths here and it is almost impossible to get lost. There are a few places to sit and rest at the first large pond with the stilt house, but there are a few at the other ponds.
