The route is identical from the starting point at the swimming pool up to above the Christhof with the Dorschenberg route, then crosses the Einbach valley and follows the Osterbach stream along the slope area up to the Käppelehof. The return path leads over the ridge towards Teufelskanzel, circles it, and descends into the valley via Wintermaxenhof. The last section goes through the residential area "In den Reben" back to the starting point. One of the more demanding routes.

St. Wendelinus Chapel in Osterbach
In the 18th century, when the veneration of the farmer saint Wendelinus was especially promoted, Jakob Bächle built a small place of worship in 1738 for the patron saint of the rural people, which quickly attracted many visitors. Therefore, just two years later, he requested permission to serve food and drink to the pilgrims at his farm. This marked the birth of the inn named "Käppelehof." In 1980, the chapel was renovated inside and outside, and the altar niche was newly painted. There, the bust of the cattle saint, which once stood next to St. Empress Helena (now in the village church) on the Kreuzberg, greets visitors.
