From the hiking parking lot Reiselhau, we hike into Maientäle. From there, it goes into Böttental past the Hohle Stein. From Böttingen, the route goes up to the Sternenbergturm. This invites you to rest with numerous reclining benches and offers a view of the former military training area.
We walk along the yellow-marked approved paths over the former military training area towards Auingen. We cross the bridge over the L 230 and return to the hiking parking lot Reiselhau.
Please follow the wooden signs marked No. 4 and this x marking.
