Directions
Past the gold digger well in the centre of Andel, the trail first takes you along the forest road, then along meadows and animal enclosures to the edge of the forest, where you can already hear the gold stream ripple!  Always uphill you walk along the brook.  You continue to walk until you reach a forest path near the spring and the edge of the forest. From here you continue on forest paths that meander slowly downhill. From time to time there are spectacular views of the Moselle valley, the most impressive of which are from the "Wilhelmshöhe" and the Andeler Refuge. From the meadow area at the hut a small path leads you down to a path which is located below the hut. Follow this path back to Andel.
