On the ridge path, which here is part of the Vogtland Panorama Trail, we come to the resting place at the Waldecke above Wernitzgrün. We enjoy the magnificent panoramic view and turn right, following the yellow marking again, to the connecting road Markneukirchen - Wernitzgrün. At the edge of the forest, the path now leads us down into the Bärenwinkel and further, now marked in green, to the Holzmühle. The last section of our route is accompanied by the blue marking with the logo of the Vogtland Panorama Trail.
