Because birds like the bright red berries of the mountain ash so much, the mountain ash in the Almenland is also called "rowan berry". Due to the noble distillery Graf, which produces the multiple award-winning and highly praised rowanberry brandy from the berries of the rowan, the place has a special connection to this plant.
The trail itself has several experience stations, from a panorama sofa to a sound oasis to a forest xylophone. On the larch meadow and at the Schwoaghofer pond, tables and benches await tired hikers. Along the way, you can learn interesting facts about the rowan berry, which are well presented on panels. The last stretch of the trail leads along the "Duftweg" around the church in the center of town. The wonderful view also makes this trail attractive!
The Sulamith Garden and the Graf Distillery are located directly on the trail and invite you to visit them.
Author’s recommendation
The special rowanberry schnapps should of course be tasted, either directly from the producer or at one of the innkeepers along the route.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.

- The marked path now leads past the telescope, the forest xylophone or the giant chair.
- At the Schwoaghofer pond we can refresh ourselves with a "Brunntrog beer" and enjoy the peace and quiet at the pond.
