Hiking
The tour start is between Eichstätt and Landershofen: From the parking lot you follow the markings through the Hessental. A visit to the figure field by Alois Wünsche-Mitterecker is worthwhile. The path leads you on to a mighty linden tree with a small chapel near the Häringhof. Here you choose the path to the right towards the Ziegelhof. Immediately at the Ziegelhof you go to the right, after about 350 meters left through the fields and then right again towards the forest.
Through forest and field you hike past the so-called Black Cross on the pilgrimage route, one of the oldest crossroads in Bavaria, to Buchenhüll. You leave the Way of the Cross at the Lourdes Grotto and continue to the Sacred Heart Grotto. There the path leads you right along the edge of the forest. Through the forest downhill you get to the Pfünzer Holzlege.
There you go right on the Altmühltal-Panoramaweg, come to a resting bench with a beautiful view of the Roman fort Pfünz Castra Vetoniana and walk in the beautiful juniper heather in the Altmühlleiten nature reserve towards Landershofen.
Above the settlement you leave the panorama path and turn left to the forest kindergarten, go to the Dorfweg Am Haselberg through the middle of the village, turn right at the Herrmannsleite and go over the football field up the hill and come back directly to the hiking car park.

Sculpture Field in the Hessental
Highlight • Monument
78 larger than life sculptures crouch, rear up and crawl on the artist's figure field - a strange contrast to the barren Jura landscape of the Hessental.

Linden Avenue
Highlight (Segment) • Trail
In 1850/51, priest Josef Simon took care of restoring the Way of the Cross, which only had 6 stations.
In 2009, the Eichstätt Forestry Office cleared the linden avenue and replaced the missing linden trees.
The Roman Catholic pilgrimage church of the Assumption of Mary was built around 1200, the nave was built in 1616 and the upper floor of the tower in 1700.

The field of figures by the sculptor Alois Wunsche-Mitterecker is impressive, as is the 400-year-old Stations of the Cross with the linden avenue.

The hike began with a wonderful mix of sun and clouds, following narrow paths through the beautiful dry grassland slopes of the Altmühl Valley. The first pasqueflowers were already in bloom.
