Directions
The route starts at the car park in front of the Ottomühle in the Bielatal. Along the road, the path leads past the Ottomühle to the junction towards Grenzplatte (watch the path marking "Red Line"). If there is snow and ice, the following ascent over steps must be taken with caution. The further path leads over a forest road to the junction to the Grenzplatte. From the plateau of Grenzplatte, there is a beautiful view of the rock pinnacles of the Bielatal and towards Ostrov in Bohemian Switzerland.
The return route initially follows a forest path, then branches onto a well-developed forest road that leads downhill all the way back to the Ottomühle.Tour information
