Eckhartrunde - "The Weatherproof"

If you like to be out and about in all weathers, the Eckhartrunde offers the right conditions. Experience the change of seasons and see Vorderstoder from a different perspective around the Schafferkogel.
Start in the village centre and walk along the main road in the direction of Windischgarsten. After passing the fire station, you will reach the "Käserei" bus stop. Turn right there and follow the road uphill until you reach the Schaffergut on the right. At the fork in the road, keep to the right and continue to follow the road that leads behind the Schafferkogel.
You cross the settlement and pass the Edtbauer horse stud farm and the Eckhart farm. Enjoy the view of gentle meadows, the Schafferkogel and the Tamberg on the opposite side of the valley.
In good weather, the view sweeps towards Hinterstoder over numerous peaks of the dead mountains. In front are the Kleine and Große Priel, next to it the striking silhouette of the Spitzmauer and in front of it the Ostrawitz.
At the next junction, turn right and march downhill with a view of Vorderstoder.
On the right, you will reach the Stodertal forest and water playground "Swuwiz" via a small bridge, which invites you to play and discover. Through the forest you get back uphill to the country road, which you follow further uphill. After a few minutes you will reach your original starting point.
