Roadbook
Start at the Sonnentor, over the Sonnenwegle, past the sports field to the Pfützenhäusle. Left downhill, straight past the plant garden hut. The next fork leads us right uphill to the Winterhalde. From there we continue right, relaxing on the Gerstelweg. Now we must not miss the left turn into the Röhrachweg. After about 3 km on the Röhrachweg we reach the Stollenweg. Downhill, after about 500m of asphalt, we come to the viewpoint with swing. If you want to skip the descent to the swing and head straight to the Weithäusle, turn right from the Röhrachweg onto the uphill Stollenweg. At the highest point of this route, the Weithäusle invites us to take a break (shelter available with pulse board. Do you know your target zone?). Those who still have stamina can walk left on the gravel path to the Schweizerkopf hut (about 2 km) to enjoy the amazing view in good weather. Back at the Weithäusle, you can choose between the longer Otto-Ochner-Weg (mostly forest or gravel surface) or the shorter Althäuslesweg, which then meets the Großlohweg (asphalt path) above the Stierhütte leading to Dobel. The Otto-Ochner-Weg also connects here to the Großlohweg. After almost 3 km more, the Sonnentor at the Kurhaus is reached.
