Point to point
This is the second part of the circular hike from Pottenstein to Teufelshohle (1) and back (2). After leaving the Teufelshöhle, take the path that leads to Entenstein, then go down the hill and on Jägerstieg 1 again to the other side. This trail leads past some very interesting rock formations and to a lookout point. From there you make your way to Elbersberg, where you come back to Pottenstein on the Jakobsweg. Almost back to the Himmelsleiter you go right on a path that leads to the Hasenloch cave. From there it is a very nice descent back to Pottenstein.
