The tour starts in Rutzhofen, from where you turn left at the next road. Follow the road and turn left again at the next fork. Follow the hiking trail around the Balzenberg until you reach Balzhofen. Here it is worth stopping off at the Café Katharina.
From here, continue south, over the Balzhofer Bach stream and through a section of forest to Mittelhofen. After a short stretch straight ahead, you return to Rutzhofen, where the hike ends.
Author’s recommendation
We recommend a stop at the Café Katharina in Balzhofen and a visit to the hay milk dairy in Rutzhofen.
