Ruin Scharnstein - hike history

This beautiful vantage point can either be reached via approx. 260 steps, passing by the "Wagner" chapel built into the rocks or more conveniently via a forest road, but also via a meadow and forest path. A detour to the middle tower (view of Scharnstein, Bräumauer) is also worthwhile.
