Biberach - Emmersbach Circular Route

Route marked by yellow lozenge:

Prinzbach Church – Kirchberg – Priesen – Gasthaus Kreuz, Biberach – former Brickworks – Protestant Youth Hostel – Geroldseck – Schlossberg – Schmiederhof - Ludwig Column – Am Rebio – Kirchberg – Prinzbach Church

The route first leads you from the starting point “Prinzbach Church” in Prinzbach via “Kirchberg” downhill to the Karl Knauer Pavilion. Then the hiking trail continues over the Kinzig footbridge to Biberach. On a stroll through the attractive and newly designed Biberach town center, the route crosses the Kinzig bridge again to the other side of the Kinzig. At the “former Brickworks,” you take an ascending path further to the Konrad Chapel, from which you can enjoy a wonderful view into the Kinzig valley. Afterwards, a forest path leads you to the Protestant Youth Recreation Home Geroldseck. From there, you can catch a first glimpse of the impressive fortress of the Hohengeroldseck castle ruins. Keep left here. After a short ascent, you will be generously rewarded with a magnificent view from the hilltop and can then explore the fairly well-preserved castle ruins. The descent from the ruins is via the castle path. This offers a lot of variety, especially for families with children. There is much to explore and discover: artworks, information boards, and games explain the legendary world of knights. At the end of this path, you reach the parking lot at the “Ludwig Column.”

Then the hiking trail runs about 200 m along the road (B 415), until a wide path leads right into the forest. After 300 m, at the “Am Rebio” junction, follow the sign with the yellow lozenge heading towards Prinzbach / “Kirchberg” and thus return to the starting point of our day route.
