The first fork in the path brings you up through the forest to the Scheffelblick at 772m, with the lake lying about 200m below you. If you continue straight on, the path then levels out and on the right you will see a church which was built in 1626 at the foot of the cliff. Since that year many pilgrims have walked past here. You must visit the tiny church and ring the bell once and then your wish will be granted. You should also see the exceptional cave inside the church. After visiting this venerable memorial the path continues through the meadows, past a chapel with a healing source (reliable results for eye problems). From here the path continues gradually upwards to the Sattelhöhe pass and on the other side of the Falkenstein Rock the path then goes down.
