Overview
This route doesn't climb on the summit of the Hohneck but crosses the wild Hirschsteine, a cable route much less busy as the near Sentier des Roches. Highly recommended !
Red Tape
The route crosses the natural reserve of Frankental - Missheimle
Route Description
SCHLUCHT - SPITZENFELS - HIRSCHSTEINER - BAERENBACH - SCHUPFEREN - SCHANTZWASEN - TANET - HAUT FOURNEAU - GR 5 - SCHLUCHT
From the Schlucht collar, wald in northern direction on the steep GR 5 (red rectangles). At the first crossing, go to the right to the Spitzenfels (blue rectangles), a rock group in dominant position over the collar road with a beautiful view over the Hohneck Massif.
Follow then the yellow triangles to the Hirschsteine (Stag rocks). These rocks can be crossed with the help of cables and a huge metallic ladder.
You reach Baerenbach (peat-bog). Follow the yellow disc to Schupferen and the Tanet (ski-resort).
From here take left the path to the summit of the Tanet and hike back to the Schlucht by following the GR 5 (crest path). You pass near the rocks of Wurtzelstein and Missheimle.
