Trail entrance at the Schöneck roundabout
Trail entrance at the Schöneck roundabout
The trail begins at the trail entrance at the roundabout in Schöneck. It leads through the Meiler area, where there is an immediate opportunity for a small rest. It then continues about 4 km straight until it turns right from Heuweg onto the long Brückenflügel towards Kottenheide. After another 4 km, you turn left onto the "New Way". After about 3 km, the ridge trail turns towards Schneckenstein and we leave it by turning right to reach Kottenheide. The trail runs somewhat off the beaten path over meadows and fields before leading back into the forest towards Schöneck.
In Kottenheide is the "House at the Maple" with a restaurant for a cozy stopover.
Via the AB 72 to the Plauen East or South exit and continue to Schöneck. Follow the signs to the parking garage, ski world, IFA Holiday Park in Schöneck. Shortly before the roundabout, you will already see the trail entrance on the left side.
Park conveniently in the parking garage or on the outdoor parking lot at the IFA Holiday Park and the ski route can begin.
The Vogtlandbahn line RB 1 from Zwickau towards Kraslice (CZ) or bus line 90 from Oelsnitz or Plauen, or line 22 from Tannenbergsthal all go to the stop of the IFA Holiday Park. Here is the hiking and trail house with changing rooms, lockers, shower & WC and also the tourist information.
