Ascha - Falkenfels Circular Route
We start our route today on Falkenfelser Street in Ascha and walk a few meters out of the village. There we meet the hiking trail "Green 2" which leads us towards Falkenfels. We cross the B20 and then enter the "Steinach" forest where a short, sharp climb awaits us. At the top, we find a chapel in Willersberg. Continuing towards Falkenfels, we follow a small forest path along the little Kienbach stream. We cross the stream and the path goes gently uphill again. At the top, we can already see Falkenfels and Kühberg. We circle around these and come across a road. From here, we follow the marking "Green 9". The path leads through Oberhof and then into another wooded area. Via a trail and then a forest road, we reach Hagnzell. Now we follow small roads and at a forest curve we turn left onto a forest path. Shortly after, we arrive at a crossroads and turn left again. From here we follow the marking "Green 4". Passing Deglholz, we cross the B20 again and can see Ascha once more. After passing through the village, we meet the marking "Green 2" again, where we started. We already see the school and leave the trail again at Falkenfelser Street, turning right and heading to the parking lot at the school.
Nice small circular route with distant views and some beautiful chapels.
