Circular trail L3 is varied and leads you to the summit Pöbelknochen of our 14 Eight-Thousanders Route - the Himalaya in the Eastern Ore Mountains.

The round goes around the Pöbelknochen. At the junction with the L2 turn sharply right to the forked path. Follow this to the left, cross the Pöbelbachweg and continue to follow the signs. After about 800 m straight, turn right. This way you get back to the country road and to the starting point.
