Certified, fabulous quality hiking trail near Bad Ditzenbach, Baden-Württemberg.
The circular hiking trail takes you into the world of the lion legend. According to this legend, water once bubbled up from 50 spring pots above the Filstal valley. But only if you had a pure heart would the lion appear, shining in the light. The "dream tour" begins near the Ave Maria pilgrimage church and leads along the Franziskuspfad trail to the Alb plateau, which offers an impressive panoramic view. This hike is extremely varied as it leads through deep forests and past cultural and historical sights.
Highlights of the hike:
- Kilianskreuz
- Buschel chapel in the Berneck castle ruins
- Monkey tree
- Oberberg rock
