    The Pestkreuz loop is a true experience for all those who want to collect lasting impressions alongside kilometers. Besides changing surfaces and landscapes, several significant points such as the hermitage or the Pestkreuz are passed. Moreover, the runner is accompanied by impressive, constantly changing panoramas – concentrated training might be difficult!

    Author’s recommendation

    Pause at the Pestkreuz

    The Pestkreuz is a memorial for the people who fell victim to the plague. If the training allows a short break, it is worth taking a look around this significant place.

    From the starting point, the route initially goes slightly uphill past Lichtenberg Castle and along the famous hermitage toward Saalfelden-Bachwinkel. The running route mainly follows gravel paths with short asphalted sections. After passing the Bachwinkl parking lot, the route leads to Gründbichl. Over a meadow path, one reaches the historic Pestkreuz, then along a narrow asphalt road to the picturesque district of Dorfheim.
