    Roadbook

    From the Hornberg railway crossing, we follow Franz-Schiele-Straße through the residential area to a sharp right bend. There we go straight ahead into Schmiedeacker, which leads us to a hiking trail. Via the Schachen, we reach the Windeckfelsen and the Windeck hut via a serpentine path. We continue along this path to the Immelsbacher Höhe rest area.

    Via Palmdobel, we now reach the Gesundbrunnen parking lot. Shortly after Gesundbrunnen, we leave the forest road to the left and come via a narrow hiking trail to Wilhelm-Hausenstein-Straße. We follow this briefly to the left before following a narrow connecting path into Buchenbronn. From there, we return to the starting point, the railway crossing.
