Route description The starting point is at the pass summit and you reach the small kiosk via the Hochstraße, passing the Hotel Panhans and the Panoramahotel Wagner. We walk down the valley on Liechtensteinstraße (forest road). After about 1.5 km, the hiking trail intersects with another forest road. Here we go about 50 meters downhill and turn left onto the forest path to the golf course. Passing the tee-off holes, the path leads us to the Meierei. We go back a short distance and then pass on the left above the golf course by the impressive villa to the Hochstraße.
