Shortly after you reach the Pfösl chapel, a small chapel in an open field. A little further on, turn left at the second path onto the St. Helena path. This leads through gentle forest and meadow landscape directly to the picturesque St. Helena chapel (approx. 1,400 m), which sits on a hill with a magnificent view.
The return path is the same way back to Deutschnofen.
