Loop
This loop starts at the "Untere Pforte" market square and leads through the middle of the ski lift carousel, which shows its green side in summer. The trail leads through fragrant spruce forests and across wide mountain meadows where the purple heather blooms in late summer. With a bit of luck, deer or black woodpeckers can be spotted in the quiet sections of forest. A special vantage point is the Sürenberg refuge, which offers a sweeping view over Winterberg. As the route is mostly on paved gravel paths and asphalt, normal leisure shoes are perfectly adequate for this leisurely excursion. A small rucksack for refreshments is recommended for the tour.
