Safety information
Risk of black ice on paths during winterRoadbook
From the Marz tennis court, first follow an asphalt road towards Marzer Kogel. The ascent initially takes place on a dirt track, soon going over a meadow up to Marzer Kogel. From there, it descends a few kilometers towards Drassburg. Before the ascent of the forest road to Drassburger Kogel, turn right onto a gently sloping meadow heading east. On the right-hand side before the asphalt road is an archery range. The former Pauline monastery is also nearby. From there, continue to Baumgarten. On the road to Schattendorf, you can stop for a drink on the right at the Pichler wine tavern - if open. Afterwards, first go uphill on the bike path towards Schattendorf to the hill, then after a small wayside shrine turn right uphill to Krippelberg. Near the transmitter, turn right and go about 100 meters off-path to Krippelberg. From there, back down to the path. After a few hundred meters, turn left into Schattendorf forest. From there, proceed to the forest road coming up from Schattendorf, which is followed past Schmidtkreuz. Soon after, turn left above the vineyards and at a suitable place descend to the pond meadows, crossing along the fence towards the asphalt road. Follow this back to the starting point.
