    At the beginning, you walk along a field path with a wide view and continue through a forested area to the viewpoint "Jupp’s Höh". Downhill through the forest, the path leads you to the right, past the llama enclosure to the main road. Now you walk uphill to the idyllic rest area "Förster Blick". Follow the path through the forest to the viewpoint "Waldesruh". A small detour takes you "into the Zipfel" past the wildlife enclosures of the Thumhof. Back on the circular route, you reach the view "Juchhöh" and continue hiking over fields. After a short stretch along the road with a nice view towards Thum, you continue along a field path. Cross the road and follow the course of the old light railway track to the starting point.

    Author’s recommendation

    A detour to the "Zipfel" is worthwhile. You can visit the Thumhof, the carver's home (public: Tue 5 pm bobbin lace, Wed 7 pm carving) and the Zipfelhaus (by prior arrangement).
