Roadbook
After the start at the market square, go a short distance towards Summerau, then right up the hill. From the hill, there is a view of the Sternstein. At the end of the path, turn left onto Hörschläger Street. Follow this until you reach a "hidden" bridge. It is recognizable as the two stone walls run parallel to the street. Here, turn right along the Pferdeeisenbahn hiking trail to Kerschbaum.
In Kerschbaum, pass by the former Pferdeeisenbahn station and continue to the parking lot, pass the inn, and then turn right through the underpass beneath the B310.
At the edge of the village, turn right again onto a field path and return to Rainbach, the starting point of the route.
