This hike starts at the car park in Niederhai's hamlet of Lehen. From there you walk along the winter hiking trail towards Tellerboden. You turn left into the signposted "Tauferbergrundgang" forest trail after about 50 meters and follow the forest path until you reach the next branch-off. Always keep to the right and continue along the forest route until it joins a narrow footpath. The snowshoe tour starts right here.
