Zirknitz-Gundersdorf circular trail Nr. S1, S3, S1, S2A, S2

Right across from the school complex, at the Schilcherland parking lot, you’ll begin a hike that has plenty of treats in store for you. Start by crossing the street toward the elementary school. Follow trails S1 and S6 through the shady forest to Puxhof. Continue across meadows until you reach the intersection with trail S3 from Pirkhof. Once there, turn left onto trail S3 and follow the road for a short stretch. Here you have the chance to visit the lovingly designed Farm Museum. Although a short climb awaits you, it is truly worth the effort. Afterward, head down the road until you turn onto hiking trail S3 through the meadow. The route continues through picturesque vineyards to Gundersdorf. Here you can stop for a bite to eat at numerous restaurants and wine taverns.
After a hearty meal, follow Trail S1 to the fire station, where you’ll turn left onto Trail S2A and head toward Schachen. Beer lovers will be in for a treat here, as the Köberl family’s adventure farm serves their own home-brewed “Hausmi” beer. The trail then follows a fence with Highland cattle through the idyllic forest path to the intersection with trail S2. After a short left-right curve, the trail leads along the fallow deer enclosure to the bend, then heads left downhill to the intersection of trails S1 and 6, where you continue the hike back to St. Stefan to the starting point.
