Detailed route description

From the town hall in Wolfstein, or the school parking lot in Tauchental, go uphill past the Shooting House.

In a right curve, a path turns sharply left (part of the Maikurweg).

Follow this until another path branches right, leading to Totenkopf.

At Totenkopf, continue hiking right on a forest path.

After about 100 m before a left curve, an idyllic steeply ascending path leads left up to Dreimärker.

Here, a wide forest path (former Roman road) is crossed.

The next station is the summit hut on the Königsberg. Halfway done.

Initially downhill on the left, past the hut, keep always right until you reach Kreuzfeld after a slightly ascending section.

We go briefly uphill to the right. A path turns left downhill through the slope.

Arriving on an almost level forest path (this leads back to Totenkopf), continue right.

After about 200 m, a similar path leads downhill. Follow this.

It becomes wider in a left curve and flows into a forest path leading a bit steeper downhill to the Shooting House and back to the starting point at the parking lot in Tauchental or the town hall square in Waldmohr.

For our hiking routes, we recommend the following equipment as standard:

- Sturdy footwear

- Weather-appropriate clothing

- Sun and rain protection

- Sufficient supply of food and drinks, as there are not always places to eat or shop and they may not be open.

- Although paths are very well marked throughout, it is advisable for safety reasons to always carry a suitable

   hiking map, so that you can quickly reach a safe area, for example in case of a thunderstorm or emergency.

- Hiking poles recommended.

Generally applies:

Especially in autumn, pay attention to fallen leaves covering unevenness, roots, stones, or holes in the path. After thunderstorms or storms, trees may still fall or branches drop. Under adverse weather conditions, natural paths can become muddy and slippery. Not all rocks or cliffs are secured with ropes or railings. Surefootedness is sometimes required. Expect such impairments when hiking. If you think certain sections are not passable for you, you should avoid them.

NOTE:

We strive to announce all closures caused by forestry or hunting on this platform. Nevertheless, there might be situations where trails are closed and we were not informed. If you unexpectedly encounter a closure or detour, please follow the safety instructions.

The alternative paths between Waldturnplatz and Shooting House are slippery.
