    Roadbook

    The trail leads from the starting point at Eiswoog through the Stumpfwald to the small village of Ramsen with its two churches. From here, the hike follows the Bockbach stream back to Eiswoog, then passes the Eiswoog spring and continues toward Stempelkopf to the Stumpfwaldgericht. Afterward, the trail returns to Eiswoog, where Kneipp pools and a place to stop for refreshments invite you to linger.

    Public transport

    Public-transport-friendly

    You can get there by train to the “Eiswoog” stop, or on Sundays and holidays (from May through October) by taking the Stumpfwaldbahn from Ramsen to Eiswoog. The narrow-gauge railway is an ideal way to shorten this leg of the hike.
