course

The hiking trail begins near the Frankentherme in Bad Windsheim. The panorama path then runs in a north-easterly direction and passes the Gräfholz forest. The path then crosses the Tief brook in Oberntief , a tributary of the Aisch, and then crosses a larger forest area in a westerly direction. After a few kilometers, the hiking trail with the Hohen Landsberg and the Scheinberg reaches its highest points. From there you have a good view of the Franconian wine-growing region , similar to that from Bullenheimer Berg . Then the panorama path crosses the Schwanberg with the Schwanberg Castle . The path then runs in an easterly direction through a forest area, before reaching another well-known destination, the Friedrichsberg . Then he crosses the Schönberg and passes the village of Gräfenneuses , where the Glößberg lookout is located. After a few more kilometers, the Steigerwald Panorama Trail reaches the wine village of Handthal , where the Stollberg, the highest vineyard in Franconia, is the Steigerwald Center. Then it runs in a northerly direction and reaches another major highlight of the tour with the treetop path in Ebrach.

The path that continues along the Steigerwald west edge reaches the town of Michelau in the Steigerwald with the Zabelstein after a few more kilometers . On the mountain there is a tavern, the Zabelstein ruins and a lookout tower. He then crossed the two Knetzberge, Großer- and small Knetzberg that already by the Celts were settled. Then he passes the Ebersberg ruins and the towns of Ober- and Unterschleichach, where one of the few ski lifts in the Steigerwald is located. Then the hiking trail runs south of the Main, past Eltmann towards Bamberg. After 161 km the hiking trail ends in the western part of the city of Bamberg . The highest point is on the 499 meter high Scheinberg and the lowest in the Steigerwald foreland
