The hiking trail begins in Stadtsteinach at the parish church “St. Michael". This church was completely rebuilt in the years 1904-1905 after the fire disaster of 1903. The stately Neurococo church stands on the highest point of the city hill. The 56 m high west tower as the city's landmark can be seen from afar. Above the main portal in red sandstone, the Archangel Michael fighting the dragon. To the right of the entrance is a representation of the Mount of Olives from 1772/74.

Here is a 330 cm high sandstone mason with a simple iron cross as a crown. On all sides of the profiled square base are reliefs of winged angel heads …

There are small alleys and steps to explore around the church. Thanks to its elevated position, St. Michael can be easily seen from all around.
