Cirular Walk: Rabental - Forest Path - Hohenroth
The walk begins by climbing gently halfway up the high ground south of Rieneck, then contours along the hillside and up a small ridge to Hohenroth. Just before Hohenroth is reached, the Forest Path (signposted as `Waldpfad´, see p 11) appears on the right. This is itself a circular walk of about 2 km/ 1.2 miles (not included in the distances given below). In Hohenroth itself the cafe can be visited by those in need of sustenance. From there it is another 1.5 km/ 1 mile to the castle. Those who wish a longer walk could go a) via the Fliesenbachtal to Hohenroth or b) detour from Hohenroth to Schaippach before returning to Rieneck.
