The romantic Schottental near Heldmannsberg with its idyllic meadow valley is one of the treasures of the Hersbruck Switzerland. Much narrower and, amidst huge rocks, almost mystical is the atmosphere in the Kirchthal, at the end of which awaits you the remote Kirchthalmühle with a bubbling and gurgling watercourse as well as the majestic Kirchthal walls. Between these two valleys, the Kuppelalb offers you a variety of sights with its beautifully curved forest paths and numerous splendid rock formations, rarely seen elsewhere.

    Eine besonders abwechslungsreiche, interessante und trotzdem nicht überlaufene Runde, noch dazu sehr gut bewirtschaftet. Wirklich empfehlenswert.

    Herrlich abwechslungsreiche Tour! Wir sind allerdings in Troßalter gestartet, um unterwegs in Heldmannsberg einkehren zu können. Sehr zu empfehlen.

    schöne Wanderung, Aber auch anstrengend. Viel bergauf😀 An den Mühlen gibt es genügend Wasser für Hunde. Leider war das Wetter nicht ganz so gut, deshalb gibt es keine schönen Bilder. Wer nicht mehr kann, könnte nach dem Ort Otzenberg rechts abbiegen auf Gelb Punkt und kommt nach einen kurzen Waldstück gleich an der Wetzlasmühle heraus. Das ist eine Verbindung zum Claramühlen Rundweg gelb Punkt. lt meiner Messung sind es insgesamt aber aber 9.7 km

    Sehr schöne Tour, viel Wald, überwiegend angenehmer Waldweg und hält sich an ausgeschilderter Markierungen (3 vesch.). Leider kaum Bänke zum Rasten.

    Sehr schöne Tour mit viel Sonne. Für das zeitige Frühjahr aber gerade richtig. Leider verläuft der Weg zwischen Lieritzhofen und Nonnhof komplett auf der auch Sonntags wegen den Reitställen relativ viel befahrenen Asphaltstraße. Wir sind trotzdem nicht nach Wörleinshof auf den Schotterweg abgebogen sondern sind dem durch die Beschreibung vorgegebenen Weg gefolgt und wurden dafür auf den letzten 2,5 km durch einen traumhaft schönen Waldweg hoch über Alfeld mit tollem Blick auf den Ort belohnt. Es gibt nur wegen der langen Asphaltstraßen-Etappe keine 5 Sterne.

    Schöne Tour mit wenig Schatten. Man kann in Wörleinshof hinter dem Reitstall links in den Schotterweg einbiegen und gelangt diesem Weg folgend nach Alfeld zurück. Dadurch erspart man sich Asphalt am Ende der Tour.
