3.7 km Ash Chapel. This chapel was built in 1701 by the Ascher family out of gratitude. Having fled to Germany during the Peasants' War, the family was able to return after the end of the war.

Between 1827 and 1835, he built this workers' housing estate with 26 houses, all small semi-detached or terraced houses.

6.2 km Tonin Chapel, just a few metres away. The exact year of construction is unknown. The first written reference is dated 29 September 1873.

The hiking trail leads you uphill to the scattered Schönberg houses. The hike now reaches its westernmost turning point and the path loops back to Klaffer. Marvellous views of Klaffer and the Mühltal valley open up before your eyes. Before the road leads downhill again, leave it at the edge of the forest and turn left into the forest.
