Highly recommended round with great views of the Leinleiter and Werntal. 👍Final stop at the 'Huppendorfer' is even more recommended! 😅

Very nice and varied hike. Our highlights were certainly the views from the two pavilions over the valley, the view of the school mill, as well as the stop at the Naturfreundehaus Veilbronn ... great menu and very tasty there, something for the small and big hunger 👍
All in all a really great hike 👌

The starting point of this tour is the Hellmuth-Breckner car park in Heiligenstadt. We walk along the main road through Heiligenstadt to the junction on the left and follow the yellow circle to the vantage point at the pavilion. There we enjoy the wonderful view.
