    The Grottenthal route leads through the valley of the Feldaist up to below Apfoltern, from there it goes along a small side road to Labach. From Labach it descends into the so-called Grottenthal. From here, one goes directly to Summerau. Along the state road, a separate footpath leads back to the marketplace of Rainbach.

    Safety information

    In the town areas of Rainbach and Apfoltern, the heavily trafficked B310 must be crossed. In Rainbach, a pedestrian crossing is available. Special attention should be given to the traffic here.

    Occasional traffic is expected along the road between Apfoltern and Labach.

    Tips and suggestions

    In the Feldaist valley, the route follows small paths in some places, so the circuit is not suitable for strollers.

    Roadbook

    From the starting point, head east along the road towards Lichtenau, then upon reaching the valley, follow a field path under the Feldaist bridge to the Hintermühle, where the Feldaist is crossed via a small wooden bridge. Continue along the Feldaist on forest paths and trails to the Dornmühle. Here turn right again over the Feldaist and a short steeper climb up to Apfoltern. Follow the road to Labach, then turn right and half-right downhill into the Grottenthal. Once there, ascend again to Summerau. After turning right again, descend into Kranklau.

    With the last ascent, we return to the town center of Rainbach, the starting point of the route.
