    Abwechslungsreiche, großteils sonnige Runde. Sie verläuft zum größten Teil über Feld- und Waldwege. Für einen Nachmittagsausflug sehr zu empfehlen.

    Schöne Wanderung, prima Streckenwahl, exakte Wiedergabe in der APP. Führt selten über offenes Gelände, meist durch Wald und am Waldrand entlang; deshalb heut bei trübem Wetter ganz gut geeignet. Aber unbedingt empfehlenswert also für heiße Sommertage. Mit abschließender Abfrischung im See. Einkehrmöglichkeiten im erwähnten Waldgasthof (www.waldgasthof-lindlbauer.at), am Start/Ziel (www.passis-seestüberl.at) und weiterer Gastronomie in Holzöster.
