    The hike starts in Wolfegg and initially leads towards the district of Rötenbach. The scenic tour over fields and meadows continues through Oppenreute and the Katzental before the route returns to Wolfegg. Passing the shrine of St. Nepomuk, a detour up the path lined with alleys of trees and stations of the cross to the Loreto chapel is worthwhile.

    Author’s recommendation

    In Rötenbach, there is the possibility to enter the village and visit the remarkable parish church of St. Jakobus.
