This tour first takes you south to the glassmaking village of Siebenstern. Continue along the Katzbach stream to the mead fountain near Schmechten. The spring is a mineral sour that you can taste on site. A modern medical report certifies that the spring has healing properties for kidney problems, gout and stomach ulcers, to name just a few of its effects. The route continues past other springs, some of which are hidden in meadows and fields, to Herste. You cycle through the village and then parallel to the railroad tracks past the Ritzenhoff&Breker and glaskoch (Leonardo) glass companies.
The futuristic building of the Leonardo glasscube stands out from the industrial estate. You continue along the edge of the forest towards Alhausen, where you have the opportunity to visit the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Weber-Museum.
