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).
