Description: You start this section through the Schwarzatal directly on the banks of the small river below the large barrage in Goldisthal at the Haus der Natur. Along the edge of the village you soon enter the rustic Thuringian forest. The first ascent is quite challenging. After about 4 km, you pass the Rehtalbrbrücke and reach Masserberg. You can take a short detour past the spa meadows to the Hotel "Schöne Aussicht". With its cosy ambience and its own steak restaurant, it invites you to take a short break.
On the old Badstrasse you leave Masserberg in a northerly direction and descend into the valley of the "Masse" (river) to the Massermermle.
On the last section, the path climbs once more. At the highest point of the tour you reach the Albert-Schweitzer-Hütte near Altenfeld. From here you have a wonderful panoramic view over the expanse of the Thuringian Forest.
After descending the ski slope, you will soon reach the village of Altenfeld.
