From the parking lot, first pass the motorhome parking area towards the forest. After about 800 m, cross the B 283 (caution!). The following circular trail is called Gerstenberg circular trail and is signposted. About halfway, you reach a rustic shelter with a very nice view of the dam from this spot. On the return route, cross the B 283 again and go 800 m uphill back to the parking lot.
Along the circular trail, depending on weather and snow conditions, there is the possibility to explore the mining educational trail (sturdy hiking boots are essential). Also, you can hike directly down from the Gerstenberg circular trail to the dam of the Eibenstock reservoir (400 m).
