See you on your next hiking vacation at Schröders Hotelpension
Author’s recommendation
You should be fearless of heights
Instead of taking the serpentine path from Ettelsberg to Willingen, you can use the Ettelsberg cable car or the wide hiking trail on the left past the Ettelsberg hut, going under the K1 chairlift

Roadbook
From Schröders Hotelpension, the route first leads up to the Musenberg. This ascent to the Skywalk is not as steep as the one to the Mühlenkopf. Just above the main path is the entrance to the suspension bridge. With some courage, you now cross the Skywalk. On the other side, you can visit the inrun tower of the Mühlenkopfschanze ski jump. Then we follow the newly created Skywalk hiking trail, which leads right from the ski jump to the Ettelsberg. Our next destination is the Ettelsberg with its mountain lake and the Ettelsberg hut. At the top station of the Ettelsberg cable car, a valley hiking trail leads down to Willingen. This path can be quite difficult to walk, so some climbing experience is recommended. Alternatively, you can take the Ettelsberg cable car. At the hiking parking lot near the Wilddieb restaurant, the route leads back to Stryck.
