The Ostweg is a north-south long-distance path through the Black Forest from Pforzheim to Schaffhausen.

At a forest car park the path crosses a wooden bridge and continues to the ruins of Liebeneck.

At their confluence the path turns right and runs parallel to the railway line to Bad Liebenzell.

At the church the path turns right into Badstraße, goes past the Kurhaus and through the spa grounds uphill to Liebelsberg.

From Liebelsberg a tarmac path leads to Oberhaugstett, which is reached along the road called Am Schleifberg.

We leave Oberhaugstett on Martinsmooser Straße; the path goes past the watchtower (Wart) to the castle and village of Berneck.

After 2 kilometres the route leaves the track in the forest district of Hardt and follows a narrow footpath.
