Zum Fiedelstein

The first 30 minutes the route runs together with route no. 12 along the Herrensee a bit to the left, then uphill to the resting place at the "Stone Way Column". Shortly afterwards the paths split, hiking trail number 13 leads straight past the Schauflerteich to the Fiedelstein.

Through the "Wild Hunt" it now goes to Hörmanns, directly into the village. After passing through it, the hiking trail turns right to the upper shore of the Herrensee; optionally, you can now walk back to the starting point of the hike either on the left or right side of the Herrensee.

Sturdy footwear, functional clothing, sun and rain protection, maps, telescopic poles if needed, first aid kit (blister plasters), sufficient provisions (snack, muesli bars, fruit, water).

Route characteristics: 10% asphalt, 90% forest and meadow paths

Make sure when choosing the route that it matches your fitness level. Check whether the gastronomy businesses you want to visit along the way are open. Pack your mobile phone and maps in your backpack.
