Route description Diebsweg

From the church square you walk past the castle towards the Edlesberg junction. You turn right and go up a gentle slope to the edge of the forest (passing the school and cemetery). You take the forest path parallel to the road and walk about 1km to the individual farmstead. Now you walk along a beautiful forest path until you reach the Diebsweg junction. You turn right downhill to the birch avenue. Passing the stone fountain, through the village of Gutenbrunn (possibilities for refreshment) you return to the starting point.
