    The approximately 2.5 km long circular route is located in the Neudorfer Forest on the outskirts of Kretscham-Rothensehma. Officially, the signage of the educational trail begins opposite the Heinrich Cotta forestry nursery. However, parking is not allowed here and walking along the S 266 up to this point is very dangerous and not advisable due to locally heavy traffic. It is best to park at Kretscham station. From here, you cross the main road and walk along Torfstraße past the Waldfrieden inn, uphill to the vicinity of Hanggraben. From here you can leisurely follow the educational trail. The loop is also suitable for smaller children. The educational boards of the Saxon Forestry along the path offer a lot of interesting information. The path is either natural or has a gravel surface.

    Author’s recommendation

    A ride with the narrow-gauge train from Kretscham station - either to Oberwiesenthal or to Sehmatal-Cranzahl.

    Tips and suggestions

    Parking should be at Kretscham station, and from there cross the S266 (caution: locally heavy traffic), walk through the village to the forest edge.

    Roadbook

    Before Torfstraße crosses the Hanggraben, follow the signage of the forest educational trail back southwards, after some time cross the tracks of the Fichtelberg railway and after a short open stretch reach the forest edge again. The path turns off at the construction trailer at the forest edge and runs straight ahead for about 750 m southeast. At the next intersection, turn left and again after 75 m. The path now briefly heads northwest again. At the next intersection, turn left. After 30 m you will find a shelter. At this point turn right in a northerly direction. The path meets the ridge path after about 300 m. At this point the signage of the forest educational trail ends. If you follow the ridge path a short way westwards, you will reach Torfstraße again, which leads back in the direction of the starting point Kretscham station.
