After a slight ascent on a forest path, with a wonderful view of the other side of the valley to Palfau
Directions: There is a parking lot (Tschechenplatz) directly at the federal road B24, about 1 km before the GH Wasserlochschenke. Follow the B24 for about 100m in the direction of Palfau until you reach the Salzabrücke. On the right side (N) of the bridge, the path leads under the Saltabridge to the path to "Paradise". The path, which is mostly flat on the left bank of the Salza, leads mainly through shady high forest to the "An der Wacht" area between Erzhalden and Palfau. After a slight ascent on a forest path, with a wonderful view of the other side of the valley to Palfau and the Gamsstein, the path runs flat again until it meets the forest path to the Reiteralm. Follow this forest path slightly downhill to the former forester's lodge.
Once in Palfau, either take the same path back or take the road back to your starting point.
