Directions

Always follow the hiking sign J3.

At first, the path leads out of the village along the road. You walk along a very beautiful trail beside the road until you reach a shelter. There, turn left and after a short time turn right again. Now the path leads with a good view around the large Heidkopf. When you meet the starting point of the circuit again, turn right after a few meters. The path takes you back to Jagdhaus. At the meadow with the shelter, go straight ahead and take the next path on the left. This leads you back into the village.
