Description

Walk from the center of Finkenberg to the Teufelsbrücke (Devil's bridge), cross the bridge and take the road on the right through the district Dornau direction Brunnhaus. 100 m after the sports ground the Hermann-Hecht-Weg trail (no. 533) branches off to the left and takes you in countless turns upwards through the forest. At "Kraxentrager" (1,800 m) the most part of the ascent has been done; a little later you will leave the forest and you can even see the Gamshütte, which will be reached few minutes later.
