Quiet winter hiking route through the forest area between Grünheide and Vogtlandsee

The idyllic winter hiking route through the snowy winter forests of the Vogtland starts at the hiking parking lot at Grünheide Forest Park and follows Rautenkranzer Straße towards Zinsbachtal until the "Jungfernsprung" shelter. From there, it continues along the Zinsbach, then via the Sandy Path, "Seven Ways" and "Six Ways" towards Beerheide, where the trail shortly before turns back to Grünheide Forest Park.
