The hiking sign is a blue diamond on a white background. There are wonderful views of Ebermannstadt, the Wiesenttal valley, the Leinleitertal valley and historic castles along the way. The 14th century St Mary's Chapel is well worth a visit; it has baroque elements from the 17th century and sculptures of St John the Baptist.
