Feel Good hiking trail at Jauerling Route 2

<p>From the parking lot at the mountain station of the ski lift, we first head to the lookout tower. It is open daily from April to around All Saints' Day from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm, in winter only on weekends and public holidays from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm and by prior arrangement. After the lookout tower, we cross the Turnerwiese, first follow route 73 straight ahead, then turn left towards the hunting lodge. From the hunting lodge, continue along the marking. We cross routes 73 and 26 and continue hiking through the forest until we come out below the Stauferhütte again. From there, it is only a few meters back to the parking lot.</p>
