Loop
Circular route over historic streets and a visit to medieval glass furnaces Technically undemanding route with inclines. The section at the Red Cross (in front of Hünerweg) is very steep - push it! The Hünerweg, the Rennstraße and the old Poststraße in front of the threshing floor are historic streets. On the way back, shortly before glassworks, the very short detour to the remains of late medieval glass furnaces is worthwhile.
