Historically rich circular hike with splendid views and a refreshing finish. Certified dream route by the German Hiking Association!

Hiking around Hilchenbach-Grund, the birthplace of Johann-Heinrich Jung, known as Jung-Stilling (1740-1817). The path leads you through our unique nature up to the Ginsberger Heide and the ruins of Ginsburg. From there, it goes downhill past Zollposten into the Insbach Valley, where a water treading basin invites you to relax.

It is worthwhile to visit the "Jung-Stilling Room" at the beginning or end of the route. This can be viewed by appointment. Particularly worth seeing are the simple instruments with which Jung-Stilling successfully performed eye surgeries. Contact: Heimatverein Grund, phone 02733 / 548 882.
