Description by the author

An extensive day hike of about 20 kilometers on the Old Pilgrim's Path is certainly not everyone's cup of tea. For those who prefer shorter hikes, we would like to invite you to this approximately 14-kilometer "southern loop" on the Old Pilgrim's Path.
The circular tour starts from the Kluskapelle St. Lucia chapel located on the Altenau or the Kapellenhof farm café, first through the romantic Bilkental valley, then through the forest area "Nonnenbusch", past the local forest cemetery to the idyllic Hillige-Seele chapel, surrounded by numerous old lime trees. It's worth taking a look inside: in the simple interior, you can literally feel the centuries that this little church has been standing in this place.
Via the "Kapellenpatt" trail, the route continues to the Rudolf Steiner settlement at Schloss Hamborn. Then the path leads up through the Despental valley to the "Hunnenwinkel" and then to the viewpoint rock "Teufelstein". From there, it's only a short walk through the beautiful beech forest back to the starting point.
