To the left of the Vermuntbahn valley station, a short staircase leads to Bofastraße, which is crossed directly under the railway track. This is the starting point of the European staircase 4000. On steps of varying condition, it now goes straight and steep uphill towards the mountain station. At the halfway point and in the last third, there are approximately 50-meter-long paths that do not run straight. The return route starts directly to the right of the Vermuntbahn mountain station; you follow the path markings through the forest towards the valley. The last few meters then lead you back over Bofastraße to the starting point.
