Loop
This route through the Rauener Berge leads via an adventurous access over hilly paths through forests, almost to the motorway, to the stone table, further to the margrave stones, if you want to the observation tower (not directly on the route, but easy to find shortly before the Markgrafensteinen), past the former "Simon" tunnel entrance, past the Markgrafensteinen a second time. If you don't like the access, you can also start from Rauen. 2 motorway tunnels lead directly to the route.
