After hiking through the Lochbach Gorge, the path leads with a scenic view over forest, field, and meadow trails, always keeping an eye on the Eisenberg telecommunications tower. For a while, you are accompanied by the steady sounds of the wind turbines, already faintly audible from afar, which stand monstrously high in the fields. Later on the Semmelberg - according to research used by the US military until 1993 - there were still slight remnants to be discovered from that time, such as a rifle bunker, a somewhat secluded small building, and paved areas. It was a good decision not to use the area further for German federal military purposes afterward. After Semmelberg, the trail steadily goes through the forest to the castle and back to Wallenstein.
