If you want to do the short tour to the Schnalz summit and avoid the many steps, it is best to start from Böbing. Here you go on mostly tarred access and forest paths towards the Schnalz summit. Only the last section leads through natural sections, i.e. through the forest and the meadow part, and a short section across the cow pasture. Then you reach the summit cross, and the way back to Böbing is similar - mostly tarred.

With free drinking water station where you can fill up bottles or simply quench your thirst.

Very nice view from here 😊
