From Hirschberg you roll out past Schloss Hirschberg, then straight into the Brauhauspöhl nature reserve. Onward it goes, by the Burgruine Wiedersberg castle, through the Feilebach and Fuchspöhl reserves, and past Schloß Schauenstein. With 1153 m of climbing over 89.4 km, mostly paved, the Wachende Jungfrau viewpoint comes before the run back to Hirschberg.
