Quality trail "Pilgrimage & Dowsing Rod"
The comfort hike takes you out into a landscape of wide, blooming meadows and gentle orchards. Especially in spring and summer, a colorful backdrop unfolds here, while the view often stretches far across fields and hills.
Along the forest edge, you hike through the open cultural landscape towards Karlsbad. The destination is the mysterious ruin of the St. Barbara Chapel, around which many legends revolve. The tower of the ruin offers a wonderful panoramic view over the treetops and roofs of Karlsbad to the Pfinztal – through light forest it goes back towards the Waldbronn Kurpark, our starting point.
