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.
