A walk from the Vilotel in Oberkochen up to the Volkmarsberg (Fairly steep start) - Followed by a loop through the wooded areas past two "Schachten" in the woodlands. 

Then onwards to a view point along the track, and eventually off track to the Schmiedefelsen (A rock outcrop) which has gorgeous views up and down the valley.

After this follow the path down to the Kochersprung, and back up to the Vilotel.
