Exciting and scenic hike with great views. From the Schweizermühle parking lot in Rosenthal, the trail follows the yellow dot up to the Kaiser Wilhelm-Feste. It then continues past the Hercules Columns to Felsengasse and back down into the valley to Ottomühle. On the other side of the Biela, the circular route continues via the Johanniswacht and the Sachsenstein to the neighbor, back to the starting point.
