In the middle of the Glatt valley lies a varied path, presenting itself with great views and full of surprises: the Leinstetter Bänkleweg.
Magnificent panoramic views reward the "ups and downs" of this challenging circular route, which can also be walked in two stages.
The first section of the path runs along the slopes of Heimbach and Glatt, with beautiful views over the valleys, while the second part offers a delightful walk for nature lovers through shady forests and along romantic stream passages with small ponds.
The path also has many historical points of interest. You pass the Lichtenfels ruins, which once served as a robber baron's castle, walk through the Kreuzwiesen meadows, and can make a detour to the grave of the Count of Frank. This tomb commemorates the manor owner Freiherr von Frank, an early promoter of the two villages Leinstetten and Bettenhausen. These and other fascinating stories are told along the way.
From Buch, Gries, and Kapf—located on three sides of the Glatt valley—you have splendid views across the land. It is worth taking a rest here for a while.
From the grotto, you can return to the starting point if you do not want to complete the longer circuit (following the Way of St. James to the village center).
