This tour offers beautiful views that one would not expect. Far into the Odenwald, into the Palatinate Forest, and to Dannenfels at the Donnersberg. One has a wonderful panoramic view. Thanks to the many benches along the way, you can enjoy the view on the very sunny mountain.

Panoramic Hiking Trail and an Old Clay Mining AreaThe marking "Sun behind white cloud" leads us on the panoramic hiking trail (PWW) from Wattenheim over the Leiningerland plateau, the Grünstadter Berg, to the Erdekaut near Hettenleidelheim. From the second half of the 18th century until 1996, clay and binding sands were mined here. Around 1890, there were about 130 open-pit and underground mines. Today, clay is still mined at a few locations in the open pit; from this, roof tiles and fireproof lining materials are produced nearby in Eisenberg. The former mining area is now a biotope with small ponds, fishing lakes, and reed zones. In 2008, it was transformed into a local recreation and adventure landscape with a network of comfortable paths. Here we can observe dragonflies, butterflies, amphibians, and many birds. The local history museum Archive Karl Blum e.V. in Hettenleidelheim preserves the memory of the once flourishing clay mining industry.
