Here you can also hike a short distance along the Benediktweg! The history of the municipality of Roßleithen is closely linked to the production of scythes. Schröckenfux GmbH still forges scythes for the whole world today. The starting point is again the hiking car park in Roßleithen: You hike past the Gasthof Sengsschmied - a "show hammer" - through the factory premises of the Schröckenfux company - largest scythe in the world - Waldhammer - "Knochentampf" - Stummermühle. A footbridge over the Pießling leads to the Gleinkersee. (But it is worth hiking to the Pießling Ursprung and back again). A short, steep ascent leads to the Hammerschmied supply road. Now follow this uphill. Finally, a hiking trail takes you to the Gleinkersee. Here you hike back to Roßleithen on the forest hiking trail (entrance at the gravel car park). But it is also worth circling the Gleinkersee. This circular route is suitable for prams and wheelchair users. Unfortunately not the entire “Green Path”! The "Green Path" offers many highlights: show smithy, the largest scythe in the world, Waldhammer a landmark of Roßleithen, the Stummer Mühle state exhibition, the natural spectacle Pießling Ursprung and of course the Gleinkersee. Green scythe theme trail: circular route approx. 2 hours walking time! **Small "green scythes" show you the way!** [ Tour and route information ](#ttgCollapseTourdetails) --------------------------------------------------------- **Starting place:** 4575 Roßleithen **Destination:** 4575 Roßleithen **duration:** 1h 36m **length:** 5,3 km **Altitude difference (uphill):** 153m **Altitude difference (downhill):** 160m **Lowest point:** 679m **Highest point:** 823m **difficulty:** very easy **condition:** very easy **panoramic view:** Individual Views **Paths covering:** Asphalt, Hiking trail **Starting point:** Hiking car park in the center of Roßleithen **Destination:** Hiking car park in the center of Roßleithen **further information:** - Circular route - Board possible **Details - hiking**- themed path [ ![Altitude profile Green Trail - Let the scythes show you the way in Roßleithen](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430001646&width=355&height=250&FontSize=12&mkt=en) ![Altitude profile Green Trail - Let the scythes show you the way in Roßleithen](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430001646&width=450&height=350&mkt=en) ](#ttgHoehenprofilModal "Green Trail - Let the scythes show you the way in Roßleithen") [ Along the trail ](#ttgCollapseAnDerStrecke) ----------------------------------------------- [ © Open copyright © Copyright: TVB Pyhrn-Priel/Sulzbacher Close copyright ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/187823/5EAC3B126F5EC9AFE62AA1CC68C15FFB2275CFC51713764410BD7ADE0F22827A/gleinkersee-mit-gastgarten.jpg "Gleinkersee mit Gastgarten (© Copyright: TVB Pyhrn-Priel/Sulzbacher)") Inn Seebauer Gleinkersee ](https://www.upperaustria.com/en/oesterreich-gastronomie/detail/430000375/inn-seebauer-gleinkersee.html) [ © Open copyright © Copyright: TVB Pyhrn-Priel/Bruno Sulzbacher Close copyright ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/365987/48E3C82A693266F090822FF4D7D38976C7B6422F09D1719449038622382CDBCF/gleinkersee.jpg "Gleinkersee (© Copyright: TVB Pyhrn-Priel/Bruno Sulzbacher)") Lake Gleinkersee – a natural juwel ](https://www.upperaustria.com/en/oesterreich-poi/detail/430001523/lake-gleinkersee-a-natural-juwel.html) 1. 2.
