    The start is at the Nordic Sports Arena car park in Niederthai. From there, you walk along the winter hiking trail towards Tellerboden. After about 50 meters, turn left onto the signposted forest road "Tauferbergrundgang" and follow the forest road until you reach another crossroads. Keep right and continue on the forest road until it leads into a narrow hiking trail. Now the snowshoe tour begins. It continues through the Tauferberg Forest towards Mauslasattel. From there, the wide forest road leads back down to the football field and the starting point of the snowshoe tour.
