This demanding route takes us partly along the supraregional ridgeway to Gunzen and via Oberzwota and Kottenheide back to Schöneck.
Through shady forests, past idyllic ponds, we explore nature, relax and enjoy the varied landscapes.
The path is mostly marked red; from Kottenheide we follow the yellow markings along the Kirchsteig back to Schöneck.
