Turn-by-turn directions
The Fuchshöhlen trail starts from the car park at the ski hut and runs over the upper Schanzenweg path towards Eichwald, before turning right at the top just before the “Naturschanze”, or nature ski jump. Here, it passes the “Fuchshöhlen”, or foxholes, until it reaches the Oberndorfer Delle. From there, follow the lower forest path back to the ski hut. Simply follow the red signs (red arrow with a number 4)!
