This is the second part of the circular hike from Pottenstein to Teufelshohle (1) and back (2). After leaving Teufelshöhle, take the path that leads to Entenstein and then walk down the hill and along Jägerstieg 1 back to the other side. This path leads past some very interesting rock formations and to a viewpoint. From there, you make your way to Elbersberg, where you take the Way of St James back to Pottenstein. Almost back to the Himmelsleiter, turn right onto a path that leads to the Hasenloch cave. From there it is a very beautiful descent back to Pottenstein.
