A scenic and pleasant hike along the ridge with a direct view of Gamlitz.

You begin at the Gamlitz sports field and walk uphill alongside the field to a small hilltop. Here, turn left and follow the Grubtaler Höhenstraße (Grubtal High Road) until you turn right towards the Zweytick Christian wine tavern. The path then leads you to the Retznei outdoor swimming pool and, via Ehrenhausen, to the Gamlitz water tower. Enjoy the breathtaking view here, perhaps with a glass of wine and a traditional wine tavern snack from Skoff Weinleiten. The return journey leads back to the starting point via the Motorikpark (Motor Skills Park).

This tour can also be shortened using two alternative routes:

Shorter route = Höhenstraßen Round 1b
Medium route = Grubtaler path Nr. 2
