Beware of flying golf balls.

At just over 22 km, the Friedensweg (path # 15) is the longest official hiking trail in the spa town. The part of the path in the Orber area has premium quality throughout - everything is well maintained; Asphalt is rare. The path follows the Spessartweg up to Lettgenbrunn. Once at the top, it goes past the golf course over to the Beilstein with the remains of an old castle from the XIII. Century.

A little later, the path leads over the former route of a small railway, with which ammunition and equipment were transported from the barracks on the Wegscheid to the military training area in Lettgenbrunn before the First World War. Shortly after the Hindenburg monument, you come across the donkey path and follow it over the Bismarck oak and the seven-way cross to the Rosskopf.

The name Friedensweg refers to the last third of the beautiful path, which takes you past the Soviet POW Cemetery and later the Displaced Persons Cemetery. On the last five kilometers down to Bad Orb you follow a forest path paved in a typical Prussian manner, on which military vehicles drove up to the barracks area before the First World War.

The path goes past the golf course, so watch out for flying golf balls!
