    The hike starts at Lorch station, runs along the monastery and then turns right towards Schweizerbach – Mühlbach and continues to the Schiller Caves. The path then leads on to Bruck into the Schelmenklinge. The latter is a highlight of this route because of the many water features, a great experience for young and old from May to October. The path continues along the Götzenbach and returns via the monastery to the station.

    Author’s recommendation

    Don't miss: The giant sequoias, the Schelmenklinge, the Schiller Cave, and Lorch Monastery with its Limes watchtower.
