The starting point of the approx. 3.8 kilometre long circular trail is the tourist information office in Hohenwarth and leads through a scenic area of Hohenwarth. A small sign with a number and QR code is attached to each bench. Stories from Hohenwarth and the Bavarian Forest, which are assigned to each individual bench, can be read in this brochure or accessed via QR code on a smartphone. Cross the main road at the fire station and stay on Hudlacher Straße. After about 500 metres, leave Hudlacher Straße and turn right into Haselmühlstraße. Leave this road again after about 150 metres by continuing straight ahead into Bürgermeister-Mühlbauer-Weg. Now stay on the signposted hiking trail. Cross a small stream and follow the signposts until you reach the tarmac road in the Blumenau district and Blumenauer Straße. After about 500 metres you come to Kötztinger Straße, which you cross.
