Starting from the farm guesthouse Hensler. We head towards Gallberg, passing above the quarry and reach the former mills (White and Trappen mills), which are now used as agricultural buildings. The path then leads us to the volcanic cycle path, which we cross. Turning left, we follow the meadow path next to the volcanic cycle path until we reach B 275. Crossing the federal road, we pass by the riding hall (Dachreiter - Bistro) towards Heidegrab, with a magnificent view as far as the Rhön Mountains. The asphalted path continues until we reach the “Fourteen Saints” (wayside shrine). Via a meadow path, we come to the edge of the forest,
which we follow before entering the forest and emerging again at Steimel with a splendid view of Herbstein. After a few minutes, we reach the
volcanic cycle path again, which we now follow up to the gallows. From there, we hike back towards Herbstein. Once again crossing the B275, passing the volcanic thermal baths through the spa park to the destination, the starting point at farm guesthouse Hensler.
