This stage takes you from the Alps towards the hills.
After the village of Mönichkirchen, you cross the main road and then walk along field and forest paths along the Austrian long-distance hiking trail 02. A section with asphalt paths begins near the highway crossing. The panoramic and varied route between fields, meadows and woodland makes up for the asphalt paths that connect the small villages of Schlag, Pichl and Hosien. Before reaching Pichl, you pass Ziegersberg Castle (private). A forest path leads to Hosien and on to our stage destination Hochneukirchen ( Hutwisch parking lot).
Overnight accommodation: shuttle service from the stage finish or continue on foot via the regional route to Bad Schönau.
