The food is good. The view is outstanding. It's quiet only as long as the bell isn't ringing.

The Rennweg runs through the Franconian regions of Bamberg, Hassberge, Schweinfurt and Rhön-Grabfeld. Because of its special nature experience and its history, it is one of the most interesting hiking trails in the Hassberge Nature Park. Historically documented as a messenger and courier route, the Rennweg always runs along the crests of the Haßberge and avoids the slopes and lowlands. Hikers can make interesting detours down the valley on both sides of the path. Total length between Dörfleins (near Hallstadt) and Sulzfeld i. Grave field: 60 km. Many love its silence and pristine nature, the shady forests, the spicy scent or the singing of the birds. Others appreciate the picturesque views of the vast valley and meadows of the Haßberge Nature Park, with picture-book villages and fairy-tale castles. Attention: The Rennweg is also marketed as a cycle route. The hiking route and the cycle route deviate from each other on individual sections of the route. The bike course is signposted with the symbol "White R on a black background". distance Total length between Dörfleins (near Hallstadt) and Sulzfeld i.
