The starting point is, of course, freely selectable. More "chapel routes" are linked on this page under the "Details" menu.

In Neusorg, a visit to the Catholic parish church with its late baroque high altar from 1777 and pulpit with figure of the soul-weigher St. Michael from about 1700 is recommended. In Waldershof, a visit to the former castle on a hill at the western edge of the town and to the former hospital at Markt 9 is worthwhile. The originally late medieval building was rebuilt in 1808. The parish church of St. Sebastian dates back historically to the 13th century; the new building was erected between 1818-1821. In Kösseinebad there is an outdoor swimming pool covering 27,000 sqm.

From the Gasthaus Steinplatte, follow the asphalt road and soon the red/white hiking sign or the E3 with the European flag. Although the first 20 minutes are along roads, traffic is light. Soon the path turns onto forest roads, through meadows and forest paths, isolated farms up to the ascent to the Kösseinehaus, passing the granite quarry on the left via a steep path (approx. 280 m elevation gain). There is a resting spot in between at a rustic spring: Pfalzbrunnen. The Kösseinehaus, also known as Kössainehaus, has two wonderful terraces, one of which offers a fantastic panoramic view. There is also good beer and Bohemian cuisine! Afterwards, you can continue on the Franconian Mountain Trail to Luisenburg (Hotel Luisenburg for overnight stay is highly recommended!). That would add about 4 km.
