At the parish church of St. Alexander in Ofterschwang you take the path at the back of the parking area and behind the houses. Go down east and take the small alley left to the entrance to the Wittelsbacher Rundweg. It leads through a charming landscape, along the Tobel towards the village of Westerhofen. You will cross two bridges on the way. After crossing the second bridge, keep to the right until the path forks. From this fork, the path continues towards Schweineberg, past the Wittelsbacher Höhe.
