    The route starts at 700 m above sea level and leads into the highest ridge areas of the holiday region. Flat and gently ascending sections alternate. At the highest point, by the "Praying Hands" carved in rock, beautiful panoramic views over the Murg Valley, Rhine Valley, the neighboring Alsace, and the Vosges are enticing in good weather. Fauna and flora display a special character in these high-altitude areas.

    Author’s recommendation

    The path is named after the Praying Hands carved into sandstone on the Baden-Baden side with the inscription "God protect our homeland"

    Roadbook

    From the Rote Lache past the buildings in the direction of the former ski slope. Cross this on the forest road. After the ski slope, continue straight on the forest road and follow it until you reach the pavilion on the ridge. After the pavilion, cross the ridge to the right. On the Baden-Baden side, follow the forest path to the right again at the Praying Hands until you reach the starting point.
