Beautiful circular hike.

Circular hike.

The geological conditions as well as the partially related impacts on flora and fauna, the experience of the charming landscape, and the possibility of resting after the hiking effort make this path extremely appealing.

Circular hike over the Laubhügel, the highest elevation in the Schweinfurt district, to Birnfeld.

Circular hike through the Sulzfeld Forest.

The Bundorfer Forest, with its more than 18 km² of woodland, is located in the heart of the Haßberge Nature Park. Large parts of the forest are part of the Bundorfer Wald Fauna-Flora-Habitat Area, the headwaters of the Baunach River, and a bird sanctuary. For several years now, the wildcat has once again made this its home, having found an ideal habitat in the Bundorfer Forest with its cover, water sources, and structural diversity. South of the Sambachshof, we pass the Nesselgrund Nature Reserve: The area has been designated as a nature reserve since 1985 to preserve the wet meadow complexes and alder swamp forests. A small highlight is the Siberian iris, which grows here in large numbers.> We start at the Märchenwald 01 parking lot and turn left onto the road. After about 100 meters, near the Sambachshof, we leave the road to the left onto a gravel path. We continue briefly parallel to the road, following the blue triangle toward Aub and Schwarzer See. Just 200 meters later, we turn left, continuing toward Aub. The forest path soon passes a game reserve and then gradually narrows, becoming somewhat difficult to walk on. But after a few minutes, it widens again and joins a broad, paved forest path, which we follow uphill to the right. After nearly a quarter of an hour, we reach a junction where we turn right, following the red tower marker toward Nesselgrund. After another 5 minutes, a detour to the right takes us to Schwarzen See 02. Back on the trail, we continue following our markers and reach the entrance to the Nesselgrund Nature Reserve 03 after about 10 minutes.The trail takes us along the nature reserve for a quarter of an hour, then we reach a junction: We turn right here and follow the Friedrich-Rückert-Weg along the Baunach for a good 10 minutes. Then we follow our trail marker to the left, which now leads us steadily along the main trail through the forest for a good half hour. At the Strutthügel 04 parking lot, just before the NES49, we turn right. We are now on the Rennweg, which we follow straight ahead. We hike straight ahead for a good forty minutes, then the trail gradually narrows. A narrow path then leads us, at times steeply, down to the Wildberg 05 ruins. After visiting the ruins, we continue along the path until we reach a T-intersection: Here we turn right; at the very next intersection, we keep to the left, continuing downhill toward Sulzfeld. At the wayside shrine with a rest area, we turn sharply right and now hike along the Gutsherrenpfad and the Biergartenwanderweg. At the end of the short steep climb, we reach a T-junction where we turn left. The Biergarten Hiking Trail leads us to a paved road. We continue straight ahead on the Amselweg through the vacation home community 06. Shortly before the main road, we turn right onto the Finkenweg, now following the green and red towers. The Finkenweg leads us uphill to a gravel path, which we follow along with the towers. Shortly after the right-hand curve, a path veers sharply to the left and descends steeply into the forest—our marker is now the badger.We cross the subsequent ST34 diagonally to the right and follow an unmarked gravel path uphill. After about 25 minutes, we reach the Ochsenhügel 07 rest area, which, with a table and a small bench, invites us to take a short break. The trail continues for nearly another half-hour along the gravel path through the forest. Then, after the left-hand curve, a sign on the right points us up into the forest toward Eisernes Kreuz. We now follow the narrow, otherwise unmarked trail uphill for a good 5 minutes. At the trail fork, we also see a wooden trail sign 08: It directs us to the right toward Sambachshof, now back onto the green tower and the blue, open triangle. We now follow the signs steadily along the narrow path for a good half hour through a beautiful, open deciduous forest. We don’t leave the path until we reach a gravel road. Here, we continue straight ahead, past a few ponds. At the intersection after the ponds, we turn left, continuing to follow the blue, open triangle. The trail now takes us past the booths of the Märchenwald back to the Märchenwald 01 parking lot.
