Circular hiking trail, 9.8 km
The hike starts in Schmidt at the hiking parking lot by the church. From here, we follow hiking trail no. 10 towards Froitscheidt down into the Kalltal valley. The route then continues steadily uphill, partly along the former "smugglers' path" back to the starting point. A medium to good level of fitness is an advantage due to the inclines.
You can find the timetable for bus line 210 here.
