The starting point of the Hochwald trail is the "Potsdamer Platz" car park. It is located a little away from the centre of St. Peter in the so-called "Hochwald", which can be reached coming from the village in the direction of St. Märgen via the first junction on the left and the "Schmittenbach" district. From there, the trail leads via the Brückleweg to the Jockenhofweg.
