The start of the circular hike is at the Nordic Sports Arena parking lot (football field, paid) in Niederthai. From there, first follow the paved road straight ahead towards the district of Tellerboden. After about 200 meters, turn left onto the wide gravel path and follow it slightly uphill towards the solitary house; shortly before that, the path leads you left into the forest. Along the wide forest path, you hike almost level to the first cache. As soon as the path is blocked, you are already in front of the first cache. Found it? Then continue hiking through the forest. The second cache is a bit more difficult to find; to your left on a wall, you will find this symbol. After the second cache, the Tauferberg loop starts, and you hike the narrow forest path always slightly up and down through the mystical forest. You will find the third cache by a stone that looks as if a picnic on a stone table would be possible here. After the cache, you get a brief view through the forest and see the village of Längenfeld in the distance. After walking slightly uphill again, pay close attention to the forest man's house. It is not directly on the path. Then continue slightly uphill again, then hike down a narrow path. When you reach the bottom, the forest path continues level until you reach a clearing, which offers a good opportunity to take a short break. Shortly after, you will see an overgrown pond and a feeding station behind it. You can take the narrow path through the grass or go around outside. Have you found the cache at the feeding station? From there, you walk back along the road towards Niederthai; the wide hiking path gently leads downhill to the pasture area (above the football field). To your right, you see a small brook; don't forget to collect cache 6. With the right solution word, you can now collect your very personal treasure at the Niederthai or Umhausen information office.
