In Balingen, take the Messegelände (trade fair) exit and continue on the B463 towards Albstadt. Shortly after Balingen, take the first exit "Weilstetten-Lochen". You are now just about 5 km from the hostel. It is located on the highest point on the route between Weilstetten and the climatic health resort of Tieringen, below Lochenstein mountain. Be careful when entering the address into your navigation system! The hostel is sometimes marked incorrectly and you might end up in the forest near Balingen-Weilstetten. But the hostel is on the highest point, on the "Lochenstein pass", between Balingen-Weilstetten and Tieringen.
