Hiking in Ebern

Three-hour hike through the surrounding communities of Untermerzbach

The Rennweg in the Haßberge is often referred to as the little brother of the Rennsteig in the Thuringian Forest and runs along the mountain ridge of the Haßberge from Hallstadt in the southeast to Sulzfeld in the northwest.

On the Paradiesweg, you follow traces of Jewish history from the Rodachtal to the Hassberge Nature Park through bright forests, protected natural areas, and open landscapes.

Day Hikes: Ebelsbach - Bramberg (18.9 km) – Untermerzbach (18.8 km) or - Ebern (16.4 km) Hiking times for the two day hikes: Day 1 approx. 5 1/4 hrs.; Day 2 to Untermerzbach approx. 5 1/4 hrs., to Ebern approx. 4 hrs. Start (Ebelsbach) and end (Ebern) of the hike are connected to the DB network or there is transfer to DB (Untermerzbach), so the tour can be done easily on weekends both by public transport and car. In Bramberg there are several affordable holiday apartments, with hosts providing transfer to a nearby inn. The very charming and varied hike offers a largely solitary landscape typical of our low mountain ranges mosaic of forests, meadows, fields, groves, but also rocks and views of the surrounding mountains. The villages are characterized not only by the half-timbered construction typical of the Hassberge but also by the valuable Schönbrunner sandstone found here.

Easy summer route with many shaded sections. Not sweat-inducing.

Varied short hike for children from around 4 years old. Not suitable for strollers/buggies.

Beautiful but rather long hike with places to stop and great views
