View from Sonnenfels over the Ermstal to Hohenneuffen

Highlight • Viewpoint

Due to its exposed location, you have a great almost 180° view. Otherwise, everything here is wooded and you can hardly see anything. This makes this viewpoint something very special.

Not this time.🤪 I've never been there before, but I've decided I won't climb down without two other runners. I hate such steep ladders. Up, yes, but not down. I need someone to hold me up until I'm standing backwards, and someone …
