Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author
At the fork between the Marktweg and Wiesenweg paths, there is a newly built hiker's rest stop, the so-called Kalkbude. It is worth taking a short break here. The hut is barrier-free.
Safety guidelines
This is a red tour (moderately difficult, with slight inclines, possibly difficult in deep snow).
