From the southern end of the village of Klaus (direction Windischgarsten) walk along the main road B138 to the tavern "Taverne zur Maut". Here the road forks leading uphills past the castle, then past the early baroque mountain church. The church was built in 1618 and is known due to traditional Music Summer of Klaus. Since 1962 the “Candlelight Concerts” take place at the church on Saturdays throughout the summer months of July and August. You can either continue directly to Klaus along the main road or continue your hike along the Circular Hiking Trail Klauser Reservoir in in a southerly direction. From the parking area below the mountain church you will reach the reservoir along a forest path with beautiful views before heading back to Klaus along the main road. Walking Time: 15 min.
