Bliessteig - Stage 7 (Homburg - Jägersburg)

The Kneipp facility in the Karlsberg forest invites you to cool off and rest after about one third of the route - don't forget your towel!

The seventh stage of the Bliessteig starts at the Vauban Fortress in Homburg. First, go right past the Schlossberghotel down the steps to the Schlossberg caves. Here, the path branches off to the right onto a trail and leads to Schlossberg-Höhen-Straße. At this point, it first goes a few meters uphill along the street until the route continues straight ahead onto a forest path. After 400 m, the signage continues straight ahead on a trail over Hasenhübel. Here, the path goes about 1.5 km slightly uphill to the blunt summit and then back down toward L120. This is crossed, and after a short stretch on a forest path, it goes again on trails through the forest to the Karlsberg pond. At this point, it goes right, uphill again past the Kneipp facility and the Karlsberg spring. Once at the top, the signage leads along a forest path. The ruins of the Orangerie and Schloss Karlsberg are passed. After one kilometer, the signage points right at the intersection. The L215 is crossed, and at Großer Kehrberg you continue left through the forest toward Bruchhof. After 1.5 km, you reach the village, and the signage leads through the residential area, along the forest edge and past the Peterschulzenhaus to the right into the forest. Here, it proceeds quite flat over forest paths and trails, past beneath the A6, further through the Eichwald. At this point, the Bliessteig branches left, crosses the L118, and the stage finally ends at the Möhlwog pond in Jägersburg.
