Roadbook
- We start at the nursery school of Etzersdorf (parking spaces are available opposite) and ride only a few metres in the direction of Rollsdorf along the federal road L360.
- Another possibility: We ride behind the nursery school along a road with little traffic to the starting point of the new walking and cycling path built in 2020 (after the nursery school turn right - there you can make a detour to the Buschenschank Leiner - and then immediately right again - after a few metres we come back to the L360 where the cycling path starts).
- The exact start of the cycle path is after a bend on the L360.
- There we join the cycle path, which leads us along the main road to Rollsdorf.
- In Rollsdorf we recommend a stop at the Gasthaus Reicher and a visit to the Mesnerturm.
