In the 1930s, Ottomar Zahm created this beautiful path as a shortcut to the Scheibenberg summit. Since then, the path has been well maintained and is clearly visible due to the many stone steps and moss-covered path lapses, and is usually easy to walk on. Every now and then opens a wide view of the Erzgebirge and you get even on the way a few "mini-organ pipes" basalt columns to face. Attention, the way is not suitable for cyclists or MTB!

great, if not the most beautiful ascent to the Scheibenberg, offers many beautiful photo opportunities, a refuge invites you to take a break

At the foot of this path, which winds along the steep mountainside over uneven basalt steps, there is a memorial plaque commemorating the builder of this path and also showing him and his daughter in a photo.
