This trail provides lots of information about the region and rewards you with great views! The starting point is again the hikers' car park in Roßleithen: You hike past the Gasthof Sengsschmied - elementary school, then follow the Gleinkerweg road. Use this up to the Jager supply road - continue to the Seebachhof - ascent to the Schweizersberg - at the Christa baby farm you leave the Schweizersberg supply road and hike across meadows and through the forest down the valley to Pießling. Past the Gasthof Waldhof and after the Pießling bridge turn left, always along the road back to Roßleithen! At the "Hanslbauer" estate you can shorten the journey a bit by using public transport. In the past there were also scythe factories in Pießling and Kaixen! Today only the scythe themed trail signs remind us!
