The hike connects the two former Hohenlohe residence towns Kirchberg and Langenburg with their historic townscapes, as well as the Jagststeig – a section of the new Kocher-Jagst-Trails with the cultural hiking trail Jagst. The route runs along the Jagst valley but also on heights through species-rich forests. On the route lie the mighty castle ruin Leofels, where theatre is performed in summer, and the castle Morstein along the way.

June 2026 Hike organized by “Junge Mitte” (Ellwangen Chapter, Schwäbischer Albverein). I recommend this hike only in the summer. In winter, crossing the Brettach River could be a problem (photos). Amlishagen Castle is open only on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and on Wednesdays from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. from Easter through October. Forest trails along the Brettach River with a river crossing, Amlishagen Castle, across the Hohenlohe Plain to Gerabronn, back down to the Brettach River, and an ascent to the Werdeck ruins. You can stop for a bite to eat in Gerabronn at Gasthof Adler (Greek cuisine). Please note the opening hours (photo).

    Ich habe die Tour ab Eichenau gemacht, da ich Kirchberg bereits kenne. Es gibt bis Kirchberg keine Einkehr und es führt oft ohne Schatten über Ebenen, daher ausreichend Trinken mitnehmen. Insgesamt verläuft die Strecke leider sehr oft über Asphalt und teilweise auf grobem Schotter. Der Weg von Eichenau nach Diembot ist nicht begehbar, man muss sich seinen Weg durch hüfthohes Gras und Brennnesseln selbst bahnen. Ich empfehle, links der Jagst zu bleiben und dort den teilweise asphaltierten Weg zu gehen. Es gibt 2 knackige Anstiege, man muss schon ein bisschen Kondition mitbringen, es werden immerhin 20 km. Burg Werdeck muss man sich wirklich sparen, der Weg ist zugewachsen, sehr steil und es gibt letztendlich nur ein Stückchen Mauer zu sehen, wie es auch beschrieben wurde. Der Weg von Kirchberg nach Eichenau ist ein netter, schmaler Naturlehrpfad, nicht nur für Kinder. Fazit: Burg Leofels ist ganz nett, auf der Hochebene hat man recht schöne Weitblicke, aber für die Strecke und die beschriebene öfters unangenehme Wegbeschaffenheit bietet es für meinen Geschmack zu wenig.
