The circular route R4 at the Rettershof leads through the Krebsbach valley near Ruppertshain. The great views of Staufen, Rossert, Hainkopf and Atzelberg are particularly noteworthy here.
The start and end point is again the parking lot at the cheerful country man. In the evening hours you can see the lights from the castle hotel quite clearly in the distance …

A nice little hike with a few benches to rest on. Afterwards, a delicious meal at "Zum fröhlichen Landmann"

Showing Translation

This is the small circular route R4 around the Rettershof, very comfortably over fields with a beautiful view and a stop in the café zum Fröhlichen Compatriot is very worthwhile. The start and finish is at the Rettershof hiking car park.

Showing Translation

Start is the hiking car park 🅿️.

There are several hiking trails to choose from.

At the end of the hike, it is worth visiting the café restaurant "zum Happy Landmann".
