The Eselssteig between Zeil am Main and Ziegelanger mostly leads through and along vineyards and offers hikers a magnificent view of the Main valley over a length of around 5 km.

Hiking

The Eselsteig is a single trail, which also includes a few steps and is great for hiking.

Hiking

Really great trail, but really steep (up to 26% incline) and exhausting. But it's worth it, especially if you look at the Schmachtenberg castle ruins and the view of the valley. :-)
