A leisurely winter walk - always with a wonderful view of the high-altitude climatic health resort of Fischbach and the Joglland-Waldheimat region.
The path is always cleared (as it is the access road to the houses and farms) and is therefore also ideal for strollers. The return route follows the same hiking trail.

A few tips on correct and fair behaviour in the forest: (Source: www.bundesforste.at )
- Hikers should avoid visits to the forest about 1.5 hours before sunrise and after sunset, as wild animals are particularly active during this time.
- Plastic bottles, handkerchiefs, cigarette butts etc. have no place in the forest! Please make sure that you do not leave any rubbish in the forest.
- Camping and lighting fires are strictly forbidden in the forest!
- In principle, every person is allowed to pick 2 kg of mushrooms and berries per day for personal use. It is only prohibited if the forest owner expressly forbids it.
- Small backpack with water bottle (+ provisions)
- Sturdy shoes
- Appropriate clothing - if possible several layers - "onion principle".
- Rain and sun protectionWalking sticks as required
- Mobile phone
- Small first aid kit
- Route description
- Before starting the hike, check the possibilities for refreshments, including opening times, or pack appropriate food and drink.
