Description

From the tennis-court (Brunnhaus 404) in Finkenberg over th Hermann-Hecht-Weg No. 533 to the Gamshütte (1921 m).

Walk from the bus-stop in Finkenberg to the Teufelsbrücke (Devil's bridge), cross the bridge and take the road on the right through the district Dornau direction Brunnhaus. At the tennis-court (Brunnhaus 404) 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.

This climb to the Gamshütte is the first stage of the Berliner Höhenweg.
