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.
