  • We start our hike at the Gasthof Radlstation Mosbacher and walk a short distance along the R8 cycle path until we turn left along the road after the car dealership
  • We briefly come to marker no. 24, which we follow along the Sulzbach stream until we turn left at the beginning of the forest and continue along path no. 25 via the Hauswirtshofer Höh to the Hauswirtshofer estate.
  • From there, we continue right along the asphalt road uphill to the small hamlet of Stadlhof
