Those with good fitness, sure-footedness, and a head for heights, and who don’t mind forest roads, will find a varied circular route with views of the Benediktenwand summit. From the parking lot at Petern, always with the sun at your back, head towards the summit. On the descent variant, a lonely trail and good views of the just climbed summit await us. Only the steep and somewhat monotonous forest road through dense beech forest from Langenecksattel back slightly mars the impression.
