Course of the circular hiking trail

The short tour of the circular hiking trail W7 is 2.1 km long leading from the "Kalte Hofstube" car park to the south, along the edge of the forest, and after about half a kilometre entering the Breitenhorn forest area.


After another 400 m, a side path leads to Gaußstein. This part of the forest has the field name Lutterloher Heide, which indicates that in former times extensive heath areas could be found here. Back to the hiking trail we soon head north back to the starting point.


The short tour is marked with a small green circle next to the pictogram.
