An easy climb up the eastern side of the mountain.
The road is wide and in perfect condition. The gradient is very moderate and even (more or less 4％). The road is lined with conifers but remains exposed to the sun.
Note a fountain along the way (not sure if the water is drinkable).
At the Ruhestand at 910m, turn left to continue to the Schweinkopf or right to the Mummelsee.

Montée facile sur le versant Est de la montagne.

A noter une fontaine sur le parcours (pas sûr que l'eau soit potable).
Au Ruhestand à 910m, prendre à gauche pour continuer vers le Schweinkopf ou à droite pour le Mummelsee.
