Start at the marketplace, initially heading southeast on the Nitterl farm road to Neulinghoh. From there, the path climbs through the forest to Toberspitz (short detour to the viewpoint), then past the sacrificial bowls to Gloxwald and further to Predigtstuhl I and II (wonderful viewpoints into the Danube valley of the Strudengau with natural climbing garden and Donausteig summit sculpture). Down to the country road (toll) and through the Höllgraben, left at Dobmühle towards Dörfler on the Sattlgai farm road continuing to Alpenblick (viewpoint) and back to the starting point via Herndlhof and Bertaruhe.Tip:
