• On the outward journey, we follow the signs for "Der große Jogl", as we are on a section of it
• In the center of Wenigzell, we pass the parish church and the Joglland Oasis until we reach the local museum

• After around 2.5 kilometers, we turn right towards Gasthof Bergler Stub'n
• We ride to the inn and follow the path to the next section of forest
