Directions

We start from the parking lot at the monastery and past the World Heritage information center to the small railway crossing at Röseberg. After the Röseteich pond, we cross the road and reach the Höllsteinklippen cliffs. At the Sachseneiche oak, we turn right and either follow the main path towards the train station or take the trail between Sackteich and Andreasteich ponds. Afterwards, the path leads through the village to the old gateway and back to the monastery.
