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"
