Roadbook
Starting from the crossroads at the fountain near the Gailtal Cathedral along the B110, follow the side road eastwards, passing behind the cathedral. At the next fork, turn left and walk the paved road uphill, partly through forest sections, along some hairpin bends. At the junctions along the road, continue straight ahead and soon reach a crossroads below the hamlet of Lanz at 1,060m, where you turn left. Along the paved road you shortly reach the hamlet of Dobra - from here a path leading downhill over fields and partly through forest sections branches off to the left.
You reach the B110, walk a short distance to the right, then immediately turn left onto the forest road heading southwest. At the junctions along the forest road, continue straight, following the curves, until you reach a rest area. Here turn right, and immediately after, again turn left to follow the path southwards along the creek. Upon arriving at a rest area and a large wooden bridge, turn left just before the bridge. The path, running southeast, leads to the clearing around the Einsiedlwald Church - before you reach it, a sharp left turn between the house in the clearing and the Einsiedlwald Church marks the continuation of the route along a path. Along the descending path, at the junctions, continue straight/slightly right. The path then passes behind a building located in a clearing, continuing downhill. There are two more hairpin bends before you leave the forest and arrive at the Lammerbach. Walk right following the stream, reach a bridge, cross the creek, and follow the paved road until shortly after you arrive back at your starting point.
