The circular hiking trail with a total length of 58 km is ideally done in three days with stages of about 20 km each. However, those who wish can also hike the trail in two days. Accommodation options along the route allow for an individual division of the hike. If you prefer to stay at only one accommodation provider, you can take a taxi to the respective starting point or be picked up at the end point of the stages.
Various attractions invite you to visit and linger again and again. Some are freely accessible, such as the Waxenberg castle ruins and the Wendenstein. If you would like a guided tour and visit (Piberstein Castle, Denkmalhof Unterkagererhof), please contact the responsible operators in advance and arrange an appointment. The altar area of the Maria Rast forest chapel can be viewed from the outside, but if you would also like to enter the church, you can borrow the key from the Afiesl/Schönegg municipal office or from Barbara Jantschge 'Zur Rastbank'. About five minutes away from the forest chapel – follow the signs – is the spring of the 'Holy Water', which is said to especially help with eye ailments. The water springs from the lap of a Mary figure in a wooden spring house.
