This challenging 35 km circular hike from Frauenestein leads via Nassau to the ridge trail in Holzhau and back along the Gimmlitz valley with its historic mills. For inexperienced hikers, we recommend an overnight stay in Neuhermsdorf.

Starting from the tourist information office, follow the white-green-white markings in the direction of the youth hostel, at the Lärchenweg junction continue on white-green-white in the direction of Nassau. At the Pombach bridge, keep left onto the Nassauer Weg and change to the white-red-white markings in the direction of Nassau. At the village church in Nassau, continue on the white-red-white markings in the direction of Bienenmühle. At the Querweg junction, turn left onto the white-yellow-white signs to Rechenberger Straße. Turn right on white-green-white markings to Rechenberg, past the brewery museum and the tourist information office. In the center of the village, continue along the Kammweg in the direction of Holzhau. Continue along the Kammweg to the Schickelstorweg.

Continue on the Schickelstorweg (white-red-white) at the Kalkstraße junction, following the white-yellow-white markings through the Gimmlitztal valley past Weicheltmühle and Illingmühle to Finsterbuschmühle. From there, follow the white-green-white markings via Poststraße back to Frauenstein.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

The tour can be split with an overnight stay in Holzhau or Neuhermsdorf; if you choose to start on the Kammweg, an overnight stay in Frauenstein is also an option.
