Mont Thabor, also known as Monte Tabor sits in the Alps on the border of France and Italy. The summit marked the border between Italy and France until 1947 when the Treaty of Paris passed the territory back to France. The trail itself is well-marked and provides views of the surrounding Alps, lakes, and rivers. It is mostly rocky and single-track, with some wider sections that are more packed down.

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).
