First walk south from the Town Hall along Hauptstrasse, turn left at the crossroad to Grabenallee and into the park (rose garden) along the ancient town wall up to Lange Strasse. There you see an erratic block in front of especially beautiful trees with a roundel of the composer Carl Isenmann. He became especially well-known for setting Ludwig Auersbach's poem "0 Schwarzwald, o Heimat" to music.
Now cross the railway and walk along Ortenberger Strasse for about 700 m until you reach the bifurcation to Fessenbach; turn left here and you reach the hiking path to "Hohes Horn" after about one kilometer - about 200 m before the first houses of Fessenbach. Turn off the road to the right here and walk through the meadows and vineyards of Fessenbach through a narrow pass on a slightly rising path for about 500 m to "Badische Weinstrasse", cross this road and walk on through "Senator-Burda-Strasse" past the "Kloster" and the "Vinegrowing estate Dr. Burda". Turn to the right there and walk through the vineyards to the Vine-Growing Estate "St. Andreas" along the "1. Badische Weinlehrpfad" (First Path Giving Information on the Growing of Wine in Baden) to the Castle of Ortenberg. 150 m before the Ortenberg Castle the path branches off to the left through the vineyards; continue your way above the quarry to Ohlsbach. Through the vineyards, the hamlet of Schlauch-Büchen, Riesenwaldstrasse, Hinterer Leh, Bühlwegstrasse you reach the centre of Ohlsbach via foot-path no. 5 (the village of Ohlsbach has marked its foot-paths by figures) Through the village centre the path leads via Weißenbachstrasse to the Waldcafé past the recreation area to footpath no. 1.
Above the churchyard the path branches off to the right to the school building of Reichenbach via "Holzer Eck", where you have to cross "Talstrasse". The path goes on via the sport centre, "Sanktis Klaus", water-treading place "Vogelsang", Nollenstrasse past the Geschwister-Scholl School through the Obertor Tower into the historical old part of the town of Gengenbach.
