Brief description

Cozy circular route through the health resort with therapeutic climate

Description

The route starts at Hotel Thier towards Kirchenwirt, passing the parish church Maria Namen and through the Jenseitspark with stone sculptures by local artist Christof Seiser. Past the Seiser Troadkostn - his studio and showroom - and below at Haus Seiser's slanting meadow turn right into the street. Follow the marking through the forest to the Grenzbach. An idyllic rest spot invites you to linger before it goes a bit uphill and continues on a beautiful forest path. Afterwards, there is a wonderful view, and it goes downhill to the former Binder inn towards Schaueregg. A short stretch along the road, cross the road and back through the Pfeffergraben. At the top, cross the B54 again to the Dreiländerblick Müllner-Rehberger rest house, then keep right for a short piece on the Anton Wildgans Promenade and along the road back to the starting point.
