We start our tour at the market square in Gaildorf and first walk north along Schlossstraße. Before the Kocher bridge at the Old Castle, we turn right onto Grabenstraße and walk along the Old Castle through Eschenau until we meet the cycle path and footpath that runs parallel to the B19 federal road. We walk on this road until we reach the wooden bridge on the right over the B19. Now we continue on field paths to Unterrot, where we turn left after the railway tracks and then turn right into Oskar-Bamberg-Straße, on which we walk until we reach the B298 federal road. We cross the road, first turn right and after a short while turn left again onto the footpath until we reach the traffic lights, where we cross the country road and continue straight ahead into the Arwa settlement. Here we turn into Gerhart-Hauptmann-Straße and follow this until we reach Einsiedelweg, where we walk into the forest.
From here we follow the signs "schwarze Zahl 3" (black number 3) until we reach the television converter. Over the ridge of the Kirgel we walk until we reach a gravel road. At the following fork, we turn right to the Kerner tower, from where we can enjoy a wonderful panorama of Gaildorf and Schwäbisch Hall. Via a forest path we pass a playground and descend back into the town. We cross the railway tracks and return via Kernerstraße and Graf-Pückler-Straße to the starting point of our tour, the market square in the town centre of Gaildorf.
