Circular hiking trails for different itineraries

The three circular hiking trails around Höchstädt give your stay a clear framework for outdoor activities. Since they can be combined, you can tailor your hike to the time available and the composition of your group. The possible range is approximately 12 to 18 km. This is particularly relevant when planning a trip in which not all participants have the same level of fitness or walk at the same pace. However, the distance does not indicate the level of difficulty or the condition of individual trails, nor does it say anything about accessibility or suitability for a specific purpose.
