You hike on cleared country roads with little traffic, partly through snow-covered forests that protect you, partly over open hills that offer breathtaking views.
Author's recommendation
Afterwards, warm up with a visit to the ‘Hüsli’ museum of local history. The rustic ambience awakens feelings of home.
Directions
From the tourist information car park you first walk to the Rothaus brewery from where you reach the country road (K6519) in the direction of Dürrenbühl via the informative Zäpfle Weg. Follow this road slightly uphill to the fork in the road, which leads you to the Steinhölzeleweg. At the Steinhölzelehütte hut, keep left, always in the direction of Balzhausen. From Dresselbacher Weg, take the turn-off to the left onto the country road towards Faulenfürst (K4967). This will take you back towards Rothaus to the starting point.
Equipment
We recommend winterproof equipment!
