All "winter hiking routes" start from the Tourist Office - view to the BK Bike bike shop.
Follow the road to the left until you reach the bridge by the village mill. Walk along the ski path, past the curling rink, through the "Neubau" settlement until you reach the Scherer inn, where there is another small bridge. After this, turn left and continue to the main road, where you turn left again. At the "Wittig" junction, turn left, along a steep incline, past the "Proneben" entrance to the first apartment block on the left. The path leads you under the apartment block past several garages. The so-called "Wittigweg" ends above the miners' home. Now simply follow the road downhill into the village.
