The multitude of monuments, memorial stones, exhibitions, or viewpoints prompted the active village club Taubenheim to design monument hiking trails in the village of Taubenheim in such a way that outdoor exercise can be combined with viewing and experiencing exciting cultural values.
This route covers a wide range of topics: local granite stones with memories of events or personalities, an exhibition of former agricultural tools, the urn grove as a place of quiet and contemplation, quarries that are closed but exude a special charm, or one that is still operating, magnificent views and a quiet meadow let you experience the spectrum of what is essential for relaxation and discovery.

Directions
The route is 6.6 km long with an elevation difference of 150 m, and approximately 3 hours of walking time can be planned. The signage is good and clear, leading to each of the monuments.
The start is at the parking lot in the middle of the village on the street Am Bahnhof.
Walking southward, you cross the railway crossing and follow Neutaubenheimer Straße. You are then already in the forest on the ridge of Taubenberg and climb this central hill at the edge of the sundial village. Some of the monuments are located to the side of the path but are easy to find thanks to the signage. Descending from the highest point of Taubenberg and moving northwest, you reach the district Grünhut. At the forest edge, the path leads again eastwards and downhill northwards until the settlement is visible again. Here, turn right onto Am Bahndamm street and after crossing the already familiar railway crossing again, the starting point is reached.
