Unique rock formations, dark fir forests, and beautiful views accompany this hike.
Starting at the forest village of Schmieh, we walk downhill to the "Stone Signpost" along the hollow path. Along Schmieh Mountain, we reach the Franzosenfelsen. Following the signposts, we find further highlights such as the Devil's Kitchen below Emberg or the Mathildenstaffeln in Bad Teinach.
Gently uphill again, the enjoyment of nature is complemented by that of the palate. The Schloßberghütte with its native woods will delight us with good regional cuisine and unique coziness.
Uphill we reach the Zavelstein Castle Ruins with its historical small town. Passing the former quarry in Sommenhardt, another special experience awaits us with the Stubenfelsen.
Playing cops and robbers there doesn’t require much imagination.
Steep downhill we reach our destination Kentheim, home to one of the oldest churches in southern Germany.
