    Jauerling Route: From Maria Laach to Emmersdorf

    On well-maintained farm roads, we hike from Maria Laach via Friedersdorf to Loitzendorf. Our path continues through beautiful forests and blooming fields over Felbring to the idyllic hamlet of Zintring. In the Grimsinger Gorge, the trail then descends to Grimsing and follows a beautiful panoramic path to our stage destination Emmersdorf.

    Author’s recommendation

    Worth a visit are the Gothic pilgrimage church in Maria Laach and the Magdalene Chapel in Emmersdorf. In the Jauerling Nature Park, there are many other interesting themed and circular hiking trails.
