Drachensitz und Ägydiuskapelle, Fischbach
This partially rather demanding circular route - mainly through shady forests - leads over the shrine promenade to the dragon's seat and back over a somewhat steep climb past the Ägydius Chapel.
A very varied path that offers a lot, from traces of a dragon to St. Ägydius, the Fischbach parish patron.
