Selected alternatives for you
    Via the Passail fish ponds in the Almenland Nature Park, the route leads out to Haufenreith. The way back then leads along the high trail with beautiful views of the Passailer Kessel.

    Past the fish ponds, which are idyllically situated in the village, you walk up to the village of Haufenreith and then down to the Rechberg main road. At Auen, the trail then climbs up to the Hochweg, from where you have wonderful views of the Sattelberge mountains to the south of the basin. Always running above the village, you reach the village center again at Hintergasse.  Another loop around the cemetery and then you have reached your destination.

    Apart from a short section between the fish ponds and Haufenreith, the route is on asphalt, several times along the main road/B64, but always on a footpath.

    This tour, perhaps shortened by the last section, is also a lovely walk. 

    Many thanks to Ali Möstl for providing the track!

    Author’s recommendation

    The GH "Der Schrenk" on the Passail market square is a great place to stop for a bite to eat with good food, friendly staff and beautiful guest gardens.
