From here you walk along the Aschergraben towards Zinnwald. Turn right onto Goldhahnweg and continue hiking until you reach the K-Wing. At the end of the path you cross the B170 and come to the large hiking and trail parking lot. Continue on this to the K-Wing until you reach clearing 31. Follow this to the I-Wing and turn right. At the next intersection keep left to get onto the Old Zaunhäuser Way, which leads you towards Erlebnisberg Altenberg. At the sledding hut turn left again.
