Trail 5 is the only one also suitable for skating and leads through the Schönecker forests in the Meiler area.
Skating is partially possible on this trail. It starts, like all trails, at the Schöneck roundabout. From there, it leads towards "Hotel Tannenhaus" and turns right before the Meiler ponds. A little further on, we turn left and then follow the rest of the route through the Schönecker forests back to the starting point.

Follow the signs for parking garage, ski world, IFA Ferienpark in Schöneck. Shortly before the roundabout, you will already see the trail entrance on the left side.
Park comfortably in the parking garage, which is just a few steps from the trail entrance.
Take the Vogtlandbahn to the IFA Ferienpark stop. Here you will find a hiking and trail house with changing rooms, lockers, showers, and toilets. The trail entrance is about 200 m to the left of the stop.
