To the Ägydius Chapel and to Oberdissau - circular route, Fischbach

Circular route from the town down to the chapel at Grabenbäck via the Ägydius Chapel and then largely comfortably along a forest path back to the village square in Fischbach
The Ägydius Chapel is a baroque architectural jewel from the 18th century next to a Hey spring, which is used for eye problems. The second chapel is that of the Zink family, who had the chapel lovingly restored in the 1990s. From there it goes along a forest path past some farms back to the village square in Fischbach.

Further information: Village square, Fischbach
  • We walk downhill next to the municipal office following the signposts to the Ägydius Chapel
  • The path leads steeply downhill to the Ägydius Chapel, with a rest area at the bottom inviting you to linger, before we have to go straight back up the steep path and march down the forest path to the right (path no. 6) until we finally arrive in the small hamlet of Oberdissau
  • There you can admire one of the oldest chapels in Fischbach
  • We can also take a break here, then we walk back approx. 100 m along the forest path no. 6a, passing several farmsteads until we can enjoy the wide view at the Tonimbühel farmstead
  • We then walk along a meadow path until we have to cross a small stream and walk along a narrower path at the beginning
  • For those with more stamina, there is the option of hiking up a small steep path on the right and taking the Villenweg to Fischbach. Those who find this path too steep can continue along the forest path and return to Fischbach at the petrol station.
Test the healing power of the Ägydius Spring!
