Once again visited the landscape park of Christian von Wetzhausen, then walked on the Rennweg to the Schwedenschanze and enjoyed coffee and cake there at the kiosk. On the very nice descent from the Schwedenschanze towards Rottenstein and then on the Hasenwege parallel to the road to the starting point back to the hiking car park above Eichelsdorf.

Highly recommended as a "shade tour" on sunny, hot days, as the path runs almost entirely through the forest and the incline is not too steep. Also well signposted throughout. Refreshment in the form of chilled drinks is only available on weekends and public holidays at the Schwedenschanze observation tower.

Incidentally, it's privately owned, as the owner vehemently informed me, and therefore not to be sealed, so I just quickly took a picture of the courtyard. The further route to the Schwedenschanze (not a Swedish ski jump but a Celtic ring …
