    At the start of the 2nd stage of the trail, you can see the three other mountains of the entire trail, the Ulrichsberg, Veitsberg and Lorenziberg, before setting off on the descent from the Magdalensberg. Passing the Celtic-Roman excavations, the "Ancient City on the Magdalensberg", you walk through the village of Ottmanach, where the world-famous musician Udo Jürgens grew up. Once you reach the valley floor of the Zollfeld, you will come across important historical monuments such as the Prunner Cross, the Herzogstuhl and Maria Saal Cathedral.

    Roadbook

    Follow the marked path from the summit of the Magdalensberg to the village of Ottmanach (similar to the Marienpilgerweg), then turn north and climb a short, steep ascent until you reach the Magdalensbergstraße. After a short stretch on the main road, the hiking trail branches off into the forest, you pass Meiselberg Castle and after another stretch in the forest you reach the valley floor of the Zollfeld. The Punnerkreuz, a niche chapel with Celtic and Roman relief stones walled into it, points the way further south until you reach the village of Arndorf. A detour to Maria Saal Cathedral is recommended here, or you can continue to the Herzogstuhl, where the 2nd stage ends.

    The Maria Saal train station is also in the immediate vicinity.
