The Lutherweg 1521 commemorates the route that Martin Luther took in 1521 on his way to Worms (and back) when he followed the "invitation" of Emperor Charles V. Not all sections are authentic, but many are, as the path follows centuries-old trade and military roads.

The route is not called Weitblicktour (Wide View Route) for nothing. Many viewpoints can be used to admire the beautiful landscape around. The romantically wild Gilgbach at the beginning and the best comes at the end with the Schlossberg and the castle ruins from where the panoramic view leaves nothing to be desired.
