Directions

The route is characterized by the particularly high proportion of natural paths and sights. Quiet plateaus with wide views alternate with dark spring areas and defiant castles. In addition to striking ascents and descents, the path has easy passages. Large parts of the route are congruent with the Frankenweg and Main-Donau-Weg (Jura line). The path is supervised by the Franconian Alb Association . The hiking trail was originally named after Ulrich von Königstein, a knight and ministerial officer who worked in this area. He was a faithful servant of the emperor (Hohenstaufen) and founded the Engelthal monastery in 1240 after the death of his son . In 2014 it was renamed the Frankenalb Panorama Trail.
