There is a lot to discover on the tour, because: A third of all former knights' and nobleman's residences in Lower Franconia are located in the Haßberge. The total distance of the castle and palace hiking trail forms a large oval of around 190 kilometers. The northern route with 132.5 kilometers begins in the Regiomontanus town of Königsberg i. Bay., the southern route with 109.5 kilometers in the half-timbered town of Zeil am Main. There is also an east-west connection of around 25km from Ebern to Königsberg i. Bay.
