Circular
From the tourist information centre, walk along Marktstraße to Schießl household goods. There, turn right into Morethgasse and walk past several viewing benches and a plague memorial cross up to the road in Vorderbuchberg (restaurant in the centre of the village). There you turn right along the road to the Anger (hiking board and seating area). Take the left-hand road towards Hofberg. Turn left again at the chapel. This forest path takes you past an old quarry near the border road, which you do not follow, but stay on the forest path, which joins the border road again at a chapel just before Hofberg. Continue through the village of Hofberg in the direction of Jägershof. Shortly before the Rothenbaum memorial (Rothenbaum was a parish in the Bohemian Forest), turn left and take the path through the forest, but you can also take the road to Jägershof (Schützenheim restaurant open at weekends). The altarpiece of the former Rothenbaum parish church can be found in the Jägershof church. On the way back you come to Hofberg again, turn half-left before the first estate, walk along the narrow tarred road that runs through the forest, reach Vorderbuchberg, where you will find a restaurant in the centre of the village and return to Neukirchen b.Hl.Blut.
