Cross the traffic circle in the direction of the Jauker petrol station. Follow the asphalt road straight ahead towards Natschlag. At the crossroads, take the path to the left and then immediately right again and walk uphill for approx. 200 m on asphalt, then join the meadow path, past the Winterschwer Schützenhaus, a short stretch through the forest and continue on the ... **1.8 km ... field path to Geiselreith** (640 m). It was only with the founding of Schlägl Abbey in 1218 that the clearing and reclamation of the region began. The villages with the syllable endings -reit, -schlag and -brand indicate the way in which the land was cleared. The forest was cut down, the land cleared by fire, cleared. Those with the syllables -ing and -heim are the oldest settlements (Katzing, Rudolfing). In Geiselreith you continue along the marked path, cross the tracks of the Mühlkreisbahn (550 m) in the valley and the main road uphill. **3.6 km** You will see **Katzing** (580 m), one of the most beautiful villages built from stone block walls. A lack of building lime made it necessary to plaster the walls sparingly; a complete plastering of the façade would have been too expensive. Continue along the dirt road to ... **4.8 km ... Kollonödt** (620 m). At the inn, turn left onto the asphalt road and follow it for a short distance until marker no. 45 points right onto the forest path. Pass the quarry until ... **6.0 km ... Winkl** (580 m), continue left. At the chapel, turn right onto the field path. The forest path now leads downhill, past the Bruckhäusln. At the Bruckhäusln, continue right onto the field path and then turn left. You walk slightly uphill between the ponds, follow the field path straight ahead, cross the tracks of the Mühlkreisbahn and continue along the road ... **9.1 km ...** back to the starting point at **Schlägl Abbey.** [Ask for our hiking map for EUR 3.00!](https://www.boehmerwald.at/kataloge-karten/prospekte) [With the free outdooractive app, you can hike the route using navigation.](https://www.outdooractive.com/de/route/wanderung/region-boehmerwald/schlaegler-rundweg/802594518/) **You can find the detailed description under the menu item "Inspiration" as a convenient download for printing.** [ Tour and route information ](#ttgCollapseTourdetails) --------------------------------------------------------- **Path number:** 45 **Starting place:** 4160 Aigen-Schlägl **Destination:** 4160 Aigen-Schlägl **duration:** 2h 42m **length:** 9,1 km **Altitude difference (uphill):** 234m **Altitude difference (downhill):** 232m **Lowest point:** 531m **Highest point:** 662m **difficulty:** medium **condition:** medium **panoramic view:** Great panorama **Paths covering:** Asphalt, Hiking trail, Other **Starting point:** Schlägl Abbey. **Destination:** Schlägl Abbey. **further information:** - Circular route - Possible accommodation - Board possible [ ![Altitude profile Schlägler circular route](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430000193&width=355&height=250&FontSize=12&mkt=en) ![Altitude profile Schlägler circular route](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430000193&width=450&height=350&mkt=en) ](#ttgHoehenprofilModal "Schlägler circular route") [ Arrival ](#ttgCollapseAnreise) ---------------------------------- [ Suitability ](#ttgCollapseEignung) -------------------------------------- - Pets allowed **Most economical season**- Spring - Summer - Autumn - Early winter [ Accessibility ](#ttgCollapseBarrierefreiheit) ------------------------------------------------- Please get in touch for more information.
