Route description Starting at the Keltenpark, the hike passes by the inn Mößner-Karner, the Bernhart restaurant, and the sports field. Just before the inn Zum Kirchenwirt, turn left and go uphill until you reach the children's playground. Here the children can let off steam – even in winter. Above the playground is the entrance to the forest and bird nature trail. A small circular walk through the idyllic woodland offers insights into the local flora and fauna. After about 10 minutes of walking, you reach the upper point, rewarded with a beautiful view, seating, and a goat enclosure.After a short rest, go back down the forest path and turn right at the playground. This path leads through a settlement down to the main road and back to the Keltenpark at the village entrance.
