    Tips

    May 21, 2018

    The hike leads at the beginning steadily with small interruptions up to the witches cottage of Heubach. Then it's steadily downhill to Saustiege.Danach again a bit uphill on wide forest trails. It's just the same for the Heide-Stick. From here it goes steadily downhill with a detour to Heinrich smoke source. At the end there is still a water treading system before you arrive back in Heubach

      Plan regular breaks to recharge and avoid exhaustion. Use rest areas or shelters like the Heidestock Hut for a short rest.

          The hut is from the 70s, which is confirmed by some inscriptions. You can take a break here, because tables and benches are in good shape.

            Cozy shelter and in front of it an information board explaining the term "Heidstock"

                Unfortunately, the sign is now smeared
