Directions

Starting point:

Obernhau, Gasthaus Fuchsbau

Route (circular hike):

From the parking lot at **Gasthaus Fuchsbau**, we walk uphill on the Heuweg to the edge of the forest. The Heuweg later leads through the beech forest to the **Hörneltanne**, on the clearing path we reach the **Alte Poststraße**. We follow this road towards **Pfaffroda**. Shortly after the **Geißelbachwiese**, it goes towards **Schafhübel**. Halfway after the highest point, we turn left onto the old Hainweg.

We encounter the B 171 at the fish ponds. Before that, we turn onto the **Ölmühlenbergweg**. This hillside path leads us back to the starting point.
