Highlight tour to the Lusen summit with its distinctive block field and panoramic views all around

The circular route 'Luchs’ (Lynx) leads from the Igelbus stop at Waldhausreibe Lusen up to the summit of Lusen. On the so-called Summer Path, the glass artwork "Glasarche (Glass Ark)" invites you to contemplate and philosophize before climbing steeply to the summit using the ‘Himmelsleiter (Sky Stairs)’, which features the characteristic and impressive block field. A meal at the ‘Lusenschutzhaus’, located just below the summit, is a great idea before descending to Waldhausreibe via the Winter Path.
