    The family-friendly circular hike shows you the diverse facets of our landscape around Kötschach-Mauthen.

    Along the route, which partly runs over paved sections as well as forest roads and forest paths, you can experience everything from the lively activity on the valley floor, through the cozy hamlets above Kötschach-Mauthen, to the tranquility in the mythical Einsiedlwald.

    Author’s recommendation

    You can also combine the hike with the circular walk RW_N56 (through the Einsield forest) or the hike towards Mussen along the RW_N54.

    Roadbook

    Starting/Ending Point:

    Starting from the Town Hall, walk briefly south along the B110, then turn right onto the B111 towards the Lesachtal. Follow the B111 and at the second opportunity turn right onto the paved side road. At the following forks, keep left and cross the stream. The route then runs along some curves over open areas and forest sections, along the paved road, uphill to the crossroads below the chapel of the hamlet Kienze.

    Here, turn right and follow the forest path between/behind the farms. Just before the stream, you reach a pasture gate - cross the stream behind it and hike northwards, crossing the pasture area through the next short forest section. Then leave the forest behind and walk left along the gravel road uphill, heading north towards the houses of the hamlet Kreuth. At the next fork in the center of the farms, turn right and continue along the paved road. After the bridge, turn right and follow the road, passing straight ahead at the next fork, heading north.

    At the next farm, continue for a short distance along the paved road, then turn right over a tractor path across the meadows - the trail heads northeast and further leads into the Einsiedlwald. You reach a fork in the forest where you turn left and then cross the stream. At the next clearing, walk past the house on the left, crossing the open area straight ahead. There are several forks following, but continue straight on the slightly descending forest road heading north. At the fork on a large open area near the forest edge, where the houses of the settlement Laas are already visible, turn sharp right onto a tractor path. Following this path, you reach a footbridge that leads you over the stream in the middle of Einsiedlwald. Turn right and follow the path directly next to the stream, heading south. Upon arriving at a larger wooden bridge, cross it to the right. Shortly after, cross another stream and continue southward downhill through the forest. Then leave the forest behind and reach a crossroads at a paved side road. Cross this road and continue straight opposite, following the path behind the Aquarena near the forest edge. Then walk left along the paved side road heading east and at the sports field, just after the bridge railing, turn right. A short trail follows, at the end of which keep slightly left and continue straight along the paved road. Follow the route, passing all forks straight ahead, until you finally reach the fork with the B111 and subsequently arrive back at the starting point of your hike.
