Here the road is joined by the St 2286 from Oberelsbach to the east, and by the Landstraße (L) 3395 Wüstensachsen in the state of Hesse. The road runs eastwards past the Steinkopf (888 m) and the Stirnberg (902 m) and continues to the Black Moor. On this section it is joined from the east by roads from the Thuringian Hut (Thüringer Hütte), from Roth, Hillenberg and Hausen.
