This circular hike combines the two hikes "Around Weitramsdorf (Part 1+2)" into an extensive hike of about 24 km through the municipality of Weitramsdorf to Tambach.
This scenic hike leads in two loops around the Upper Franconian municipality of Weitramsdorf. Fit hikers can manage the 24 km long route in one day – but since both parts start and end in the town center, the route can also be comfortably split into two days. For refreshments, the Gasthaus Ernst Helbig directly at the start/finish point is recommended.
Author’s recommendation
Hoffmannsteiche, Wildpark Schloss Tambach, and the tranquil Hergramsdorf are just some of the many highlights on this varied hike.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.

Roadbook
The route begins in the village center of Weitramsdorf and goes, passing the remains of the company Albrecht, via WP140 up to Greinberg. At WP139 was located the "Luther Oak" until a few years ago.
Further uphill and past WP138 and WP132. Here is the "old quarry" on Höllberg. Over WP133 and WP134 you reach WP135 at the Hergramsdorf ponds. At WP136 turn right and immediately follow the street "Zur Schmalzgrube" left to WP41.
Following the Schmalzgraben to WP40, the path then leads uphill to WP39 and WP38 on the "Johannesberg." Following the gravel path, you reach the federal road B303 via WP37 and WP36.
After crossing it, the hike follows an idyllic path through the forest from WP35 to WP34. Then turn right towards "Klingengraben" to WP33. Now follow the gravel path for some time to the junction WP31, then continue on the path to WP32.
Now having arrived in Tambach, the restaurant Waldcafé is on the right. The parking lot with playground forms an alternative starting point for this hike.
Along the main road, you pass WP9 and WP10. Here a trip to the Wildpark Tambach is worthwhile. Opposite Schloss Tambach is WP11, and the path leads past the golf course to WP44 and WP45.
Follow the gravel road for some time to WP46. From here, a detour to the legendary "Dreiherrenstein" is worth it.
The route continues following the gravel path via WP47, WP51, and WP61 downhill back to Weitramsdorf to WP60. Arriving at the state road 2202, WP4 leads past the Weitramsdorf town hall (WP3). Turn left here towards "Gersbach." After about 800 m, turn right towards "Ruhewald." Continue to the "Schwarze Heide" and WP75. Here you can enjoy a magnificent view over the municipality of Weitramsdorf.
Via WP77, WP78, WP79, WP89, WP87, and WP86, you reach WP85 with the Kastenbrunnen and its forest chapel, an absolute highlight of this hike.
Following the gravel path in the valley, you reach WP84, the connecting road between Weitramsdorf and Schlettach. Follow this road to the right to the parking lot of the "Naturfreundehaus Hoffmannsteiche" and WP83. Now walk along the "Tramersgrund" past WP91 and the first ponds.
At WP114 you reach the partly managed Naturfreundehaus, another highlight of this route. Refreshed, continue through the forest to WP113. Turn right here to continue to WP115 towards "Weidach." At the junction with WP116, turn left uphill to WP117. Through the residential area, follow the markings of the "Zweiländerweg" to a nice playground WP122. Through the residential area, you reach the connecting road Weitramsdorf/Weidach at WP123.
Via WP124 and WP125 (ATTENTION! Please also follow the markings of the Zweiländerweg here) you reach WP128 on the right. Past WP129, following the path again, you reach WP140 and return to the starting point in the village center of Weitramsdorf.
