From the Gasthaus Kreuz in Höhenhäuser-Oberbiederbach, the hiker reaches the Oberbiederbacher Höhe after a good 1000 metres via a paved forest path. Along the edge of the forest, then a short stretch through the forest to a clearing where the Schutter has its source, the hiker will find a rest area with a barbecue site.
Past the Rotzeleck and the hiking meeting point, the trail leads through meadows and fields to the Kreuzmoos hiking centre. The hiking trail leads out of the forest via the Bildstein refuge with a rest area and offers magnificent views over valleys and mountains all the way to Gscheid.
From Gscheid, there is a slight ascent to a hill with a marvellous view. You reach Kastelburg Castle via the Lindenbühl forest car park. The "Ritterwanderweg" trail leads down into the valley to Waldkirch, where the day's stage ends on the market square.
