The tour
Over meadow, forest and woodland paths, as well as partially asphalted roads (at the end of the tour), this route leads from Aich to the 1,279 m high Freienstein. On the ascent and descent to the Freienstein there are sometimes more demanding passages where a certain amount of head for heights is required.
