    From the station, head towards Blochingen. After crossing the Danube, the route gradually climbs until shortly before Heudorf. Here the first tip of the maple leaf is reached. Along meadows and fields, it continues to the forest. In the forest, there are several Celtic graves including the Hohmichele. The route still goes slightly uphill through the forest. After the halfway point, the path leads almost entirely downhill, with few exceptions, to Heiligkreuztal. Here the next tip of the maple leaf is reached and the halfway point is now achieved. A visit to the monastery or the Häussler bakery village is recommended. The route continues to Binzwangen where the Danube is crossed for the second time, then to Ertingen where the third and final tip of the maple leaf is reached. Continuing past the Schwarzachtal lakes to Herbertingen. With a small detour over the Göge to Ölkofen, the route passes by Regio Airport Mengen and leads back to Mengen.
