- There, trail no. 13 - the so-called Moosweg - branches off. Here we change to snowshoes and take a pleasant walk on mossy ground until we reach trail no. 14 - the fern path
- We hike back along this trail in a snow-covered forest
- Then we take the country road back to the starting point in Fischbach.
