Waldlehrpfad

From the church square, walk to the left past the church (sign: “Erholungsraum Steinkamperl”) and climb a few steps up to Waldgasse. A few meters down this gravel road to the right, you’ll pass the “Reviereinrichtungen” exhibit. Staying on Waldgasse, after 100 m you’ll reach the actual start of the nature trail, marked by the “Overview Sign” and the “Interesting Facts About the Forest” sign. Here, turn left off Waldgasse and walk along a forest path, past pitch pines, to the children’s playground, which you’ll cross (sign: “Forest Nature Trail”). Following the forest path, you’ll reach the Union parking lot (tennis courts). Keeping to the left, pass the signs “Edible Mushrooms” and “Poisonous Mushrooms” and walk through between the tennis courts on a gravel path; immediately after the tennis court fence, turn right onto a forest path (sign: Forest Nature Trail). Follow the path, past the “Birds” sign, straight ahead for 200 meters through the forest until you reach a trail junction (stretching station on the fitness trail). Turn left here, go over a gentle hill, and continue straight ahead at the crossroads. Following the wooden signs, turn left and walk slightly downhill on a wide forest path until you reach the signs marked “Hoofed Game” and “Predators, Small Game.” On the forest trail, keep left and continue slightly downhill, walking along the former running track. When the tennis courts come into view, the forest nature trail branches off to the right (50 m before the tennis courts) onto a narrower forest path. Passing the signs marked “Flowers” and “Butterflies, Beetles,” you’ll reach the meadow at the Hirtenberg Sports and Recreation Center. Cross this meadow in the direction of a large oak tree, where a forest path (sign: Forest Nature Trail) leads slightly downhill back to the playground. From here, take the familiar path to the right back to Waldgasse and the church square.
