To the Ägydius Chapel and to Oberdissau - circular route

Open
Circular route from the town down to the chapel at Grabenbäck via the Ägydius Chapel and then largely comfortably along a forest path back to the village square in Fischbach
The Ägydius Chapel is a baroque architectural jewel from the 18th century next to a Hey spring, which is used for eye problems. The second chapel is that of the Zink family, who had the chapel lovingly restored in the 1990s. From there it goes along a forest path past some farms back to the village square in Fischbach.

More information

We walk next to the municipal office down following the signs to the Ägydius Chapel. The path leads steeply downhill to the Ägydius chapel, where there is a rest area at the bottom where you can take a break before we have to go straight back up the steep path and march down the forest path to the right (path no. 6) until we finally arrive in the small hamlet of Oberdissau and one of the oldest there You can admire the chapels of Fischbach. We can also take a break here, then we walk back about 100 m along the forest path number 6 a, past a few farms until we can enjoy the wide view at the Tonimbühel farm. Then we walk through a meadow path until we have to cross a small stream and initially walk along a narrower path. For those who are more fit, there is the option of hiking up a small steep path on the right and taking the Villenweg to Fischbach. Those who find this path too steep can continue along the forest path and come back to Fischbach at the gas station.
Test the healing power of the Ägydius Spring!
