R9 - Biraurunde / Start and finish in Rainbach im Mühlkreis

After starting at the marketplace, continue a short distance towards Summerau, then turn right up the hill. From the hill, there is a view of the Sternstein. At the end of the path, turn left onto Hörschläger-Straße. Follow this until you come to a "hidden" bridge. It is recognizable because two stone walls run parallel to the road. Here, turn left onto the field path, which also leads into the Birau. In the Birau, there is the first change to the route. The railway crossing, still shown on many maps, no longer exists. Now follow the railway to the underpass and continue back on the other side of the railway. In the Birau, there is a junction that is somewhat harder to see; a photo is attached. Once the junction is found, continue on a path along the former track of the horse railway. This way, you cross the Birau and emerge from the forest beyond Summerau. Here, follow the Summerauerbahn railway line to the underpass and go underneath it. Do not continue straight ahead at the station as previously indicated. Due to the construction of a sawmill, the path is no longer available here. Turn right and follow the road uphill to the state road. Turn left to return to Rainbach.
