Roadbook
The hike starts at the Crottendorf market. From there, it goes via the new bicycle path heading south to Waltersdorf. Arrived in Waltersdorf, it then goes uphill towards Schlettau. After a short street section, you walk from the outskirts of Waltersdorf through the forest on beautiful forest paths to Scheibenberg. From there, the circular route around Scheibenberg begins, which leads to the famous organ pipes. If desired, you can of course also climb to the summit of the mountain to enjoy the beautiful view from the newly built tower of Scheibenberg. The return path leads back to Crottendorf via forest and field paths.
