    Roadbook

    • The starting point is the village square.
    • We follow the markings and pass the Buchtelbar
    • Immediately afterwards, turn left towards the cemetery
    • After the Köberl farm (vlg. Poihofer), the path descends slightly and we cross the Haselbach stream
    • After a few meters, we turn left and continue along the Bründlweg at a leisurely pace
    • It wasn't really strenuous yet, but we still relax with a "forest bath" and enjoy the wonderful peace and quiet
    • Fresh and refreshed, we continue to the elevated tank (local water pipe), then turn left to the local history museum and we are back at the village square.

    A few tips on correct and fair behaviour in the forest: (Source: www.bundesforste.at )

    • Hikers should avoid visits to the forest about 1.5 hours before sunrise and after sunset, as wild animals are particularly active during this time.
    • Plastic bottles, handkerchiefs, cigarette butts etc. have no place in the forest! Please make sure that you do not leave any rubbish in the forest.
    • Camping and lighting fires are strictly forbidden in the forest!
    • In principle, every person is allowed to pick 2 kg of mushrooms and berries per day for personal use. It is only prohibited if the forest owner expressly forbids it.
    •  
    • Small rucksack with water bottle (+ provisions)
    • Sturdy shoes
    • Appropriate clothing - if possible several layers - "onion principle".
    • Rain and sun protectionWalking sticks as required
    • Mobile phone
    • Small first aid kit
    • Route description
    • Before starting the hike, check the possibilities for refreshments, including opening times, or pack appropriate food and drink.
