Description

The route starts at Hotel Thier in the direction of Kirchenwirt, past the Maria Namen parish church and through the Jenseitspark with stone sculptures by local artist Christof Seiser. Pass the Seiser Troadkostn - his studio and showroom and turn right into the road below at Haus Seiser's sloping meadow. Follow the markings through the forest to the Grenzbach stream. An idyllic resting place invites you to take a break before continuing uphill for a while on a beautiful forest path. Afterwards, there is a wonderful view and the trail descends to the former Gasthof Binder inn in the direction of Schaueregg. A short stretch along the road, cross the road and return through the Pfeffergraben. At the top, cross the B54 again to the Dreiländerblick Müllner-Rehberger rest stop, then keep right, walk a short distance along the Anton Wildgans Promenade and along the road back to the starting point.
