Loop
Circular hiking trail: Illschwang - Gehrsricht - Dietersberg - Ammerthal - Schöpfendorf - Illschwang
The varied day tour is without major ascents and descents, a lot in the forest and in the karst valleys of the Upper Palatinate Alb. Especially in the spring it is wonderfully beautiful in the Pürschläger valley with countless blue liverworts.
