- Equipment Sturdy footwear, functional clothing, sun and rain protection, maps, possibly telescopic poles, first aid kit (blister plasters), sufficient provisions (snack, muesli bars, fruit, water).
- Route description At the "marker tree," all paths branch off from the village road heading south. At a junction with overview boards, go straight downhill. Soon you will see the water surface of the Schlesinger Pond. Past the campsite – there is a fountain and a toilet here – the hike continues onto a forest road. Shortly before the Pfaffensteg Pond, the Lichtberg Path No. 65 branches off to the left, while the Ysperklamm Path continues straight ahead. Past the Pfaffensteg Pond, it goes over the Wurzeben and through the Königwald to the Öd Pond. There you turn directly north and follow the variant of the Eisenwurzen Path 08A along the upper course of the Große Ysper to Bärnkopf. Along the way, there is the possibility to climb the summit of the Weinsberg – with a wonderful view! If you want to visit the Ysperklamm, turn south shortly before the Öd Pond.
