Relaxed hiking and sleeping in the middle of the forest! Let's enjoy this day. 12 kilometres and just under 300 metres of altitude give us a leisurely hiking day. We will spend the night in the middle of the forest. But don't worry - we won't spend the night in a tent, we won't need to heat up tinned soup and we won't have to fend off wild boars. Hiker-friendly hotels in the middle of the forest are inviting.

Die erste echte Bergetappe lässt sich kurz und „schmerzlos“ auf dem direkten Weg über Klingenthal zum Aschberg bewältigen und gewährt so genügend Zeit für einen Bummel durch die Musik- und Wintersportstadt. Wer sich richtig fordern will, wählt die lange Alternative!
