After a few minutes' walk, you will come to the path *sinnenreich*, which starts at the VILLA *sinnenreich*. Now turn left at the Sinnenreich station "The impossible triangle". The field path leads through the subway of the bypass road to a biotope with a small rest area and the stations "Sprachrohr" and "Kann die Kopfhaut zählen", which invite you to take a breather. Follow the field path that promises you a "view-insight-view" at the edge of the forest at the next station and immerse yourself in the Lanzerstorf wood. You cross a small bridge and continue on your way to the ... **1.9 km junction of the *sinnenreich*** trail - not far from the Polstermühle mill. Continue straight ahead here. Shortly afterwards, the forest ends and you leave the wide path to the right on a narrow path down to the meadow, cross the Fischbach stream and turn right onto a meadow path that leads uphill towards the edge of the forest opposite. Follow this briefly uphill, then turn off the edge of the forest and continue along the field path. Immediately afterwards, you will come to a tarmac road, which you follow uphill to the right. At the top, there is a lovely rest area next to the cross with a marvellous view of Rohrbach-Berg. Follow the road to the left and shortly afterwards you will reach the ... **3.8 km village square of Götzendorf.** Here you can visit the castle chapel and the beautiful inner courtyard of the castle. Leave the village on the tarmac road in the direction of Rohrbach-Berg. **Shortly after the end of the village sign, do not overlook the turn-off to the right onto a field/meadow path.** Follow the meadow path down into the Fischbach valley, where you reach the road to Rohrbach-Berg again in a loop at the sawmill. Turning right, walk uphill to ... **5.7 km to the small village of Unterfischbach.** Turn left through this village and you will immediately come to a dirt track which forks after approx. 300 metres (note: **there is no sign here as this would hinder the farmer working in the fields**). At the fork, turn left towards the forest and shortly afterwards you will come across the familiar section of the Götzendorfer Steig. Follow the same path in the opposite direction back to the starting point **9 km** to the Rohrbach-Berg town square. **Sage:** "The water witch from the Katzensteg" From Götzendorf Castle, a little path runs over the Katzenberg down to the Fischbach. A long time ago, a water witch was up to mischief there at night. A carter had lingered too long in the inn and night fell. On his way home, he suddenly heard a loud splashing and rushing; it clapped and splashed. The servant felt as if he saw a woman's hair fluttering in the mist and as if huge hands with sharp claws were reaching for him. In his distress, he made a promise to the fourteen emergency helpers and he was immediately surrounded by peace again. Was it the witch from the Katzensteg who washed her laundry at night?
