More information

Large and free gravel car park at the starting point.

Way number: 7

Turn back in good time if the weather deteriorates. If you get caught in a thunderstorm, stay away from individual trees. Wait out the storm, preferably in a crouched position.
Stay on the marked paths and remember to close pasture fences.
Keep calm in an emergency and call the mountain rescue service on 140. If you have no reception, take out your SIM card and dial 112.
If you come across cows: It is best to pass above the herd at a distance of at least 50 meters. Stay calm, don't make any hectic movements and don't run away. Do not imitate cow sounds and do not try to stroke the animals. A stick and loud shouts can often make the animals turn back in an emergency.
If you are a dog owner: clarify before the hike whether you need to cross a pasture. Keep your dog on a lead and make sure it behaves calmly. In the event of a cow attack, let your dog off the lead immediately. Never pick him up to defend him.

Shoes with a light tread and clothing suitable for the weather are sufficient for this tour.
Perhaps pack a small snack in your rucksack so that you can enjoy nature during a break.

The detour to St John's Church is worthwhile, as it is a wonderful place of power.

Take the 940/941 bus to the "Putterersee" stop. The starting point of the hike is also nearby.
