    The 60 km circular trail is dedicated to the topic of "tree healing". Thirty boards provide information about the healing power, mythology and effects of trees. Basically, tree medicine heals with the vitality of trees. However, plant parts are also used in folk medicine, homeopathy, Bach flower therapy and, of course, in traditional European medicine. 

    The oak leaf was chosen as the symbol of the trail, as the oak symbolises strength and endurance.

    The circular hiking trail, with a total length of about 60 km, is best covered in three days with daily stages of approximately 20 km. Of course, those who wish can also hike the trail in two days. Accommodations along the route allow you to tailor the hike to your own schedule. Those who prefer to stay with just one host can take a taxi to the respective starting point or arrange to be picked up from the end point of each stage.

    Various sights along the way invite you to stop and explore. Some are freely accessible, such as the Waxenberg Castle ruins and the Wendenstein. If you’d like to take a guided tour (Piberstein Castle, Unterkagererhof Memorial Courtyard), please contact the respective operators in advance to schedule an appointment. The sanctuary of the Maria Rast Forest Chapel is visible from the outside. About five minutes away from the Maria Rast Forest Chapel—follow the signs—is the spring of “Holy Water,” which is said to be particularly effective for eye ailments. The water flows from the lap of a statue of the Virgin Mary in a small wooden spring house.
    Five rest areas were created along the trail in 2019: “Am Pesenbach,” “Des Wissens,” “In der Wiese,” “Im Schatten der Buche,” and “Mit Weitblick.” These beautiful spots invite you to linger and take in nature with all its sounds and scents. As a memento of this moment, everyone is welcome to take home a postcard from the box provided on site.

    With the free outdooractive app, you can hike the trail using the navigation feature.
