Now go right at a slight angle downwards following a forest road , through forest and meadows in the ups and downs over the creek in a northeasterly direction around the mountain . From here on an elongated lawn direction Maple Nut . Before you reach it, you go right into the steep forest sweeping down the back high ( tall, handsome Buchenwald) . Now the ridge keep left until the summit is visible. Finally, the increasingly steep rock interspersed summit climb ( set up with little snow or ice in the saddle below the summit of the ski depot). Departure: Along the ascent route or from the saddle ( ski depot) turn right reserved by the steep , north-facing slope. Caution! In the steep ditches there is considerable snow board risk.
