From the historic center of Herrstein, the stage leads the first kilometers parallel to the dream loop Mittelalterpfad through beautiful forests and over ridges with magnificent views. After crossing the Hosenbach valley, we experience an alternation of wide views and forest formations.
At the village of Sonnschied there are several magnificent views of the Hahnenbach valley and its surroundings before the descent into the valley begins. In the lower part we follow the course of the Steinbach until we reach the small village Rudolfshaus. From there it is another 800 m parallel to the Hahnenbach to the stage destination, the trout farm Reinhardtsmühle.
