A cozy easy route - this is ideal for beginners and novices. The route can also be extended further towards Schellerhau or Kahleberg.
You start at the P4 - parking lot at the campsite and proceed towards Großer Galgenteich. You cross Viehtriftweg and follow the trail at the foot of the dam. After approx. 450 m keep right and follow the trail parallel to Neugraben until the junction 3rd dam level. Here turn right. After 150 m immediately right again, then left into Seifenflügel.

At the bridge turn right and follow the trail again below the dam back to the starting point.
