From the Welschensteinach church, the path leads past the signpost “Klettner” to the Spotenhütte. It then continues past the Kambacher Hütte to the Nockenkreuzplatz. The next landmark is the cycle and hiking hostel at Schloßberg. From here, head towards “Hinterer Geisberg” past the Robertskapelle to Palmstein. Follow the signposts towards Kirchberg and back to the village.

Author’s recommendation

There are good places to stop both at the start and finish points as well as halfway along the route.
