From the "Am Steiger" hiking parking lot, the tour leads to the "Wilder Hunt" trail. This red trail offers the possibility of a high average speed and excellently uses the natural waves in the slope. In the upper part, it is somewhat more open, but this will be revealed towards the end as a tighter, wild zigzag. After that, the tour leads back to the starting point.
