The route is not called Weitblicktour (Wide View Route) for nothing. Many viewpoints can be used to admire the beautiful landscape around. The romantically wild Gilgbach at the beginning and the best comes at the end with the Schlossberg and the castle ruins from where the panoramic view leaves nothing to be desired.

The Weitblicktour Ulrichstein lives up to its status as a certified Extratour. In addition to the panoramic views mentioned in the title – no less than six viewpoints in different directions of the compass are along the route – varied landscape forms, the natural monument "Dicke Steine", and the Ulrichstein castle ruins provide exciting hiking enjoyment. You should plan enough time for the Vogelsberggarten, which is integrated into the landscape around the castle ruins.
