The route starts at Andrews Cove campground and heads towards Tray Mountain, the first of eleven 4000-Foot peaks the route passes by. From Tray, the remaining ten 4000-footers are Brier creek bald, Rocky mountain, Blue mountain, Spaniards knob, the South wolfpen ridge, Brasstown bald (the highest peak in GA), Horsetrough mountain, Blood mountain, Coosa Bald, and Slaughter mountain. The route ends at Vogel State park. The route covers 6 of the top 10 tallest peak in GA.

The Sierra Buttes are a striking set of rocky peaks easily seen from the North Tahoe area, being considerably higher than anything in the surrounding area.  They create a beautiful backdrop to the Sardine Lakes, rising up in a stony wall on their northern side.  From the west and south, however, there are more mellow hiking trails.

The "Sagenhafte Schächerbachtour" is a premium hiking path in Homberg/Ohm in the Vogelsberg, a mountain range of volcanic origin. Since its opening, many hikers come to Homberg, an otherwise sleepy small village.

While mainly designed for hiking, it also allows superb trailrunning. The route meanders through meadows and forests with flowing single trails. As it follows the Schaecherbach, it crosses the creek via volcanic stones and comes along mystic ponds or springs.
