    Tips

    In the old map from the middle of the 19th century you can see three connecting routes that crossed the Schwarzach near Döpshofen.

    From the southern outskirts of the village, a field path (stone mowing) led further south, crossed the Schwarzach through a ford and forked.

    A path (Scheppacher Straße) in the southeast of the village crosses the Schwarzach at the ford, then climbs between the Döpshofer Berg and the Mühlberg, turns into a forest path and ends at a crossroads. Here a developed forest path branches off to the east to the Scheppach chapel on the Hochstrasse. The “Scheppacher Höfle” was located there until the middle of the 19th century.

    The third route (An der Furt) runs on the northeastern edge of the village to the north in the direction of Weiherhof.
    Around 1850, a footpath ran parallel to this, which climbed the Burghalterberg (today Aitinger Berg) and set course for the Trinity plaque.
