The hike starts at the small hiking car park on the L146 and initially leads downhill along a gravelled tar road. After about 500m, a wide hillside forest path branches off to the right, which is followed.
The Ruwer spring is the actual source above the enclosed one. Of the two spring streams marked on the map, only the (shorter) eastern one carried water. However, the two indentations of the stream courses in the forest are clearly visible. The path there is, however, difficult to encounter or find.
