The circular hike takes us from Puchberg via Rohrbach im Graben around the Buchberg and the Kienberg, where we pass various beautiful points. First we hike along the Schneebergbahn through the Hengsttal valley and over the Sattelberg into the Rohrbachtal valley. Here you will find the Marias Land Resort with its restaurant, which invites you to rest and refresh yourself. There is a farm shop with specialties ranging from salmon to Angus beef. Numerous hikes up the Gahns are also possible from here. You can return to Puchberg via the Teichwiese, the Gratzenhöhe and through the Schwarzengründe.
