The trail immediately takes us through the dense forests typical of the area. After climbing through the trees, we follow a narrow path with steep parts that give us a panoramic view of the plain with fields and vineyards in the distance. Continuing towards the top, we pass beautiful conifers and finally arrive at the viewpoint with a stunning view of the three hills and their respective fortresses on the peaks. A breathtaking atmosphere opens up before us, creating a truly mystical and mediaeval vibe.

We follow the path downhill to reach the foot of the first hill and then begin the ascent to the first fortress. 

After a short but intense climb, we finally reach Scharfenberg.
