Hardtwiesenrunde

The Hardt meadow circuit starts at the Hardt chapel, where a plaque provides hikers with spiritual inspiration. This leads southwards over gently undulating countryside, with the Alpine chain always in view ahead. Follow the regular road signs to Marnbach. In Marnbach, the Hardtwiesenrunde meets the eastern loop of the Holy Landscape Pfaffenwinkel pilgrims' hiking trail. Follow this signposting westwards until the path meets the northern loop of the Pfafenwinkel Holy Landscape. Follow the signs for the northern loop northwards. At the Hardtwiesen, a bench and an impulse invite you to linger. Enjoy the Alpine panorama once again and recharge your batteries. Then follow the signs for the Nordschleife until you reach the starting point, the Hardtkapelle chapel.

Author's tip:

A detour to the Wieshof natural kitchen is worthwhile. The historic herb garden from the time of Charlemagne is open at all times and invites you to explore. At www.naturkueche-wieshof.de you can find out about the current range of courses on offer.
