Route description alpannonia - Regional Route Bad Tatzmannsdorf - Aschau

Starting from the main square, we walk through the adjoining park and reach the Open-Air Museum. Between this and the football field, we continue walking, leave the public swimming pool on the left, and reach the federal road. Shortly before the petrol station, we cross this heavily trafficked road and enter the town of Jormannsdorf opposite. Along the street through the town, we pass St. Anna Church and turn left at a junction. At the last houses, a climb through the forest begins, at the end of which we already reach Oberschützen. Here, we keep left on the street and reach the old train station. Here, we cross to the opposite side of the street through a short footpath to the center of Oberschützen. At the large junction (small grocery store and inn on the left, Raiffeisen Bank and large school bus stop on the right), we turn right and come to the cultural center and the federal secondary school. After this cultural center, we turn right again and reach the road to Aschau. We follow this road to the end of the town and turn left at the last house to a small stream. We follow this field path to a bridge, which we cross and brings us to Willersdorf. Passing the local history museum and the old Catholic branch church, we reach the main square with its evangelical school church and follow the Willersbach northwards. Already at the town boundary, we enter the forest and find ourselves in the Willersdorfer Gorge. We walk deeper and deeper into this fascinating forest landscape and only have the option to leave the gorge towards Aschau at a clearing.
