The circular hiking trail connects the towns of Neuhaus, Lauscha, Steinach and Steinheid. Six mountains, which are also called "Kuppen" in the language of the locals, give the path its name.  Each of the six peaks is over 800 meters high: the Bornhügel (846 m), the Pappenheimer Berg (834 m), the Große Tierberg (806 m), the Fellberg (842 m), the Kieferle (867 m) and the Rollkopf  (849 m).
