You start on the right-hand side of the sports ground along the farm road; at the first fork, keep right and follow the farm road. Then keep slightly right along the Mooskogel fields. At the next fork, turn left and continue straight through the motorway underpass to Stücklkreuz. There, turn left and then walk right across the S31 overpass. Now go right along the motorway, then choose the path on the left through the small woodland and walk along the ridge between Mattersburg and Wiesen. Upon reaching the Wiesen-Brändweg farm road, go left facing Burg Forchtenstein, cross the Wiesener state road, and go straight ahead at the Sebastianikreuz to the rest area. Once there, go down the meadow path on the left into the Schindlersgraben where you meet Hochbergstraße, then continue left along Hochbergstraße to the intersection Ortsmitte, Eisteiche, where you cross the ford and keep left. At the first fork keep right and then immediately turn left, along the Eisteiche and the alder woodland. Follow the paved farm road to the end of Antonigasse which flows into the main road.
