To the Weisses Kreuz (White Cross), and the Schützen-Park (Shooters’ Park) we walk either over the Schlossberg or through the valley behind the Militair-Krankenhaus, beyond the English Church, into the road leading to the Restaurant Klein Versailles; here we turn to the left alongside a forest range, and, ascending slowly through meadow grounds, reach the Marien-Sophienweg, which, winding to the right into the forest, leads us in about six minutes to a rocky prominence bearing a cross, called Weisses Kreuz; further on we arrive at a carriage road, and following this for a short time, turning at first to the left and then to the right, after having walked around the mountain slope, arrive at a place presenting a beautiful view of the broad valley of the Eger. Descending the hill, we reach the Bahnhof Strasse, close to the custom-house, and traversing this, arrive at the Restaurant of the Schützen-Park, whence we finally return to town through the Gartenzeile.
