Roadbook
Starting from the town hall, head briefly south along the B110, then turn right onto the B111 towards the Lesachtal. Walk along the B111 and at the first opportunity turn right onto the paved side road. Walk north along the road, going straight at all junctions until, at the end of the straight path, you turn right and go uphill via a short path crossing the stream. The route then leads right along the paved side road past the sports ground. After the next left curve, you turn right and at the next opportunity turn left off the road onto a trail. Follow the path northwest, uphill through the forest, passing the Einsiedlwald church straight ahead. There are several forks, but you continue straight, roughly through the middle of the forest.
Further on, you reach a large junction right by the stream - here you cross a hiking trail and cross the bridge, continuing northwest. A few minutes later, you leave the forest behind and walk along the forest road at the edge of the forest, continuing north. You reach the first houses of the Laas settlement - continue straight, cross the stream, and at the junction below the church turn left. Shortly after the church, walk along the B110 downhill northeast. At the junction directly at the Lammerbach, above the settlement area, cross the B110 and turn into the (southwest) forest road. At the junctions along the forest road, continue straight, following the curves, until you reach a resting spot. Here you turn left, slightly downhill and follow the broad forest path running parallel to the stream in a southeast direction. The path now leads straight along the stream, passing several footbridges, partly along the forest edge, through the settlement area, and partly along the retaining wall. At the end of the path, you reach a bridge over which you cross the stream and then follow the paved road between houses until you reach the B110. You keep right and walk along the B110 back to the town hall, the starting point of your hike.
