Grasel circular route

From the Knell guesthouse in Mold you head towards Mörtersdorf. The path takes you on field paths, from which you have a beautiful view over the Horn basin in the direction of Rosenburg, into the forest, where after a short time you have to cross a small stream and then continue on a field path towards Mörtersdorf. There you can either stop at the Graselwirtin guesthouse or continue through the underpass of the B4 towards the pilgrimage site Maria Dreieichen. The hiking trail leads you almost exclusively through beautiful forests that occasionally offer opportunities for a rest or, if the time is right, for mushroom picking. First, you go a little uphill, then pretty level towards Maria Dreieichen. There you can visit the pilgrimage church and enjoy culinary delights at the Vlasaty guesthouse or continue straight back towards Mold. After Maria Dreieichen, you soon go steeply downhill through the forest, then continue along the edge of the forest. From here you have a magnificent panoramic view of the Horn basin. With a bit of luck, you can enjoy a picturesque sunset there in the evening. The last meters lead you back on field paths to Mold, where you have the opportunity to end the day with a good meal in the garden of the Knell guesthouse.
