Passing under a high-voltage power line you reach a larger cluster of trees and walk along a meadow path beside the ski slope that borders the edge of the village. Another power line is crossed and again the route leads along a meadow slope and through a forested area. At the forest edge you reach the Hamlet Seeleuten, from where you take its access road to a nearby street at Schwaltenweiher. The street is crossed to the pond, then the route goes left first through a forest, then along a marshy area to the next path. On this, the hike continues right to a holiday farm.

At the next crossroads turn right and proceed about 600 m before veering onto a path heading left. Another 600 m the path curves 90°, then the Logenplatz-Route sharply turns left on the next farm track. Follow this path to where it meets another and then turn right along the shore of Kögelweiher. When the shore path turns south, turn right onto the diverging path. It soon forks, take the right fork. Enjoy varied scenery through small woodland areas and lush mountain meadows. After passing under a power line, a parking lot appears on the right; here take the left path into a settlement belonging to Nesselwang.
