From the municipal office head north to the turnoff to the bathing lake or Kalvarienberg. Past the 1st station of the Way of the Cross, follow the forest road (approx. 600m) to the SE until you reach the highest waypoint on the east side of the Calvary. Here the footpath to the Kalvarienberg branches off to the left (W) and climbs slightly, mostly through high forest to a fork in the forest path with 3 paths. Follow the forest path that climbs slightly further west (straight ahead) to the chapel. From the chapel with a wonderful view back to the fork - keep left here until you reach a forest clearing with a bench. Now the path turns to the west and leads along a forest path to the forest road near the first station of the Way of the Cross. From here take the same route back to the parking lot at the municipal office (a shortcut possible through the larch forest before the saw).
