Recharge at the Aschenhütte

From the Tourist-Info, we go through the archway into Klosterstraße, passing the monastery church with the paradise towards the Klosterscheuer, then turn left to the Sägwasenplatz.

Across the square, we turn right into Gaistalstraße. We follow it until on the left side the "Path to Rotenbächle" branches off.
We initially follow this on the road. Then we follow the forest road into the Rotenbach valley.

After about 3 km, we turn right, a stone bridge leads us over the Rotenbach. At the next opportunity, we turn left onto the road towards the Aschenhütte holiday home.

On the road, we walk down into the Lower Gaistal. We follow the road to the turnoff into the Upper Gaistal. Here we make a sharp left turn and follow the road a short distance uphill until we turn right onto the Eselsweg. We follow this until it joins the Schanzenweg. The Schanzenweg leads us back into the residential area of Bad Herrenalb. We follow the street "Am Wurstberg" until we turn right onto the street "Path to the Schanz". Passing Villa Lina to the Herrenalb Gockel and ice cream café La Vita, we turn left again into Klosterstraße, which takes us back to the Tourist-Info.
