Stage 14

Shortly before Adorf, the ridge trail splits into two variants. The official route leads on natural paths, partly with beautiful wide views, around Adorf. The variant described here is signed as an "Alternative" cultural route that leads directly through the town of Adorf, where a visit to the Perlmutter Adventure Museum, reopening in September 2025, or a detour to the botanical garden and the miniature exhibition "Little Vogtland" is worthwhile.
