Directions

At the entrance to the MarienBad, cross Bismarckstraße and turn right; 20 m past the barrier, turn left along Basaltpark until you reach the upper entrance to Basaltpark. Here we keep half-left, cross a tarred path and walk uphill towards Hedwigsturm. On a clear day, it is worth making a detour and climbing up. Above the hotel, past the Steig-Rast, we turn left into the wildlife park.

Attention: Separation of routes here:

5 km hikers go right.

10 km hikers keep left.

About 30 m before the Wilhelmshütte, take a sharp left until you reach the corner of a clearing (attention: SK3). We turn right and cross a crossroads. Now we see a factory building, turn right and pass a water treading pool. At the "Sonnenhof" (senior citizens' centre) we go straight on in the direction of the wildlife park. At the wild boar enclosure we turn left, pass the swan pond and then reach a tarred path. We keep left, after 50 m turn right into Berliner Straße. After another 150 m, turn right into "Seniorenallee". Following the signs "Basaltpark/MarienBad" we reach the L293 road. However, we turn right before the L293 into the Basaltpark to the starting point MarienBad.
