The starting point of the “Kuckucksweg” circular hike is at the hiking car park. There is a water treading pool, a refuge and an information board about the hiking trails in this region. You are here at the foot of the Sattelkopf (384m). The first "Push Me Guide" of the "Kuckucksweg" is on site. The motto on the Kuckucksweg around Mellnau is: Have fun with the Gugge on Lauern!

The treading pool is a small replica (with a little imagination) of the Mellnau Castle. The water for the treading pool comes from the Roller-Born.
