Along the red wine island Wiesenbronn
Challenging ascent to the height of the Schwanberg, with views of vineyards, through cool forest to the wine labyrinth, then on largely level terrain with occasional splendid panoramic views – a circular route around the “red wine island Wiesenbronn,” a region of fine red wines.

Collecting stamps and pins made easy:
There are stamp stations on all TraumRunden, one on each route.
You can now prove that you have really hiked all TraumRunden – with 5 stamps you already receive the silver TraumRunden badge and with 15 stamps of course the gold one, including a certificate.
And what is possible with a stamp pass is naturally also digital – with the digital hiking pin via the SummitLynx app.
Here you collect pins and earn points. With 120 collected targets, you receive the digital silver hiking pin as recognition for hiking passion and endurance. But why stop at silver? If another 325 points are earned, the gold pin awaits.
All information on the digital hiking pin and the TraumRunden stamp passes (ordering) at www.wanderglueck-kitzingerland.de.
Our tip: Before heading up to the vineyards, keep your eyes open a bit.

Safety information
Attention dear TraumRunde Wiesenbronn hikers! A vineyard – at the exit from the forest near Castell – is currently surrounded by an electric fence to prevent wild boars from harvesting all the grapes before the harvest helpers. Please understand that a short-term and temporary detour has been set up. Please follow the marking to the left at this point! Even if the signpost points straight ahead through the vineyards – at the moment it no longer continues there. The municipality of Wiesenbronn and the trail wardens have been very diligent and have marked the improvised detour. Nevertheless, have a great time on the TraumRunde and enjoy the view of the coloring vineyards.
Use of hiking trails in the forest is at your own risk. (Art. 13 para. 2 sentence 1 BayWaldG or § 60 BNatSchG).
Adequate sun protection is important, so bring sunscreen, headwear, and sunglasses.
And for bad weather – pack rain and windproof clothing to put on.
There is no guarantee of refreshment options along the way, so please take enough water and provisions with you for safety.
There are insects and unfortunately also ticks, it is recommended to wear long clothing or bring insect repellent. Also consider a booster for the TBE vaccination. The Kitzingen district is a TBE risk area. More information on why sufficient protection against ticks is important and how you can prepare can be found on the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) website.
The TraumRunden run partly on narrow forest paths and in ascending terrain. Therefore, the paths are not suitable for strollers and rollators. We ask for your understanding.

Roadbook
The start and finish is the information point at Seegarten (1). In the village, the path runs past the town hall (2), then along Koboldstraße to the south. Soon the idyllically situated Koboldsee (3) at the edge of town is reached. Shortly after the lake, the path turns left; it continues on the old quarry path up through the forest. Shortly after the forest edge, the (unmaintained) shelter on the quarry path (4) is reached. After crossing a path, it initially goes uphill to the right, then sharply left again and continues level on the hillside. At the top at Kugelspiel, the Steigerwald panorama trail is touched before it goes downhill again through the vineyards. Below the forest is the wine labyrinth (5) nearby. It is laid out from vine stocks. The short detour is worthwhile. But don’t get lost!
The path then follows Gottesgraben, after several turns offering fine views. On level terrain, you can enjoy the attractive pond landscape. At the end, the view opens towards Pulvermühle (6). The path now runs between hedges and woodland along the romantic Mühlbach. Through meadows and farmland and past Schlossgraben, it returns to Wiesenbronn.
Two inns invite you to stop on the main road, which are easily reached from the start and end point at Seegarten (1).
