An athletic loop with an alpine trail that gives us magnificent views. We get our bodies moving and recharge our energy for the weekend. Along the way, we discover traces of the past and one or two curiosities. Or did you know that there are bears in the Taunus? Good footwear is an advantage for the short but steep climbs.
