From the car park on Liliensteinstraße, it first goes a short distance back until the partly paved access road to the Sellnitz education center branches off to the east. We follow this until the Sellnitz houses come into view. Turning sharply right, the path first climbs over a meadow, then gently in the forest to a junction where we turn left. Shortly after, the difficult access path to the northern ascent of the Lilienstein branches off uphill to the right, but we continue gently downhill straight ahead. With slight ups and downs but on well-drivable forest ground, we now roll the Kirchsteig towards Ebenheit. Especially during the leafless season, the Elbe and houses of Königstein in the valley can be spotted downhill through gaps in the trees. When the forest path meets the somewhat gravelly access road to the freight elevator to the Lilienstein, after a short and steeper rise we soon reach the first houses of Ebenheit. From here we use the small access road to the village for the return route. Looking south, there is a view over the (not visible) Elbe valley to Königstein Fortress, soon followed by the impressive rock formation of the Lilienstein. Along the poplar-lined Kaiserstraße (called Napoleonstraße by the locals), it initially rises gently and then returns to the starting point of our route.
Note: Instead of the access road to the Sellnitz youth education center, the somewhat further uphill parallel hiking trail through the forest can also be used for the first almost quarter of the route, which leads into the path described above at the junction before the turnoff to the northern ascent.
