Shortly after the dam, the panoramic hiking route begins. At Napoleon's Nose ("Nez de Napoléon") the view drops dizzyingly deep into the valley. Along a footpath that sometimes leads steeply uphill, sometimes steeply downhill, it goes south. After the conifers, the leaf canopies of the oaks provide shade.
At the crossroads, we turn right and hike along the hillside to the Warche. Almost touching how untouched this river landscape appears. Upstream the valley gradually narrows until Reinhardstein Castle comes into view: the perfect model for a fairy-tale castle par excellence. From a platform, we take a last look at the wilderness in the valley, over which the castle majestically towers.
