This somewhat longer stage takes us in a large "S" from Altenstadt via Glauberg to Konradsdorf Monastery. Through forests and meadows and beautiful places of Wetterau.
This route is self-logged and therefore more precise than the original GPS data, which inexplicably skips "Die Steinern" in the Düdelsheim area, takes the road when descending from Glauberg, and also takes a different path when climbing the forest afterwards, although large white arrows on the field path indicate the way to "F" Fulda and "M" Mainz.
