A shelter, picnic table and little religious statue signal the end of the tarmac road and the beginning of the forest trail.

When you come to a fork, keep LEFT. The main path seems to go right but there is still a little trail right for you to follow.

Eventually you will arrive at a larger trail (suitable for a vehicle), turn a sharp right here, downhill.

At the bottom of the valley you will find the start of a tarmac road which you should follow.

Cross over to the right hand side of the road
This will put you on the right path for heading back down towards the end point of the walk.

Keep right, down into Hollenfels
You should already be on the right path heading down into the center of Hollenfels, but if not keep right here to make sure you are.

Finally the impressive view of the top of Hollenfels Castle from the crossroads entering the village.
