The tour
Shared joy makes you twice as happy. Along this hike, the section on the cross-country ski trail Hinterwald to Schaupphof and on the right bank of the stream back to the village is extra wide tracked, so that not only cross-country skiers but also you as a winter hiker can discover this part of Donnersbachwald.

Equipment
In winter, caution is advised even on seemingly easy hikes. In shady areas, the ground can be slightly icy, and there may be avalanche danger below slopes. Mountaineering is therefore primarily a matter of personal responsibility – even more so in winter. Tourist associations and avalanche warning services assume no liability whatsoever based on the information provided.
