This goes up hill to Dr-Sterz-Straße to a hillock with a natural wooded area called Sterzens Abendsitz. From there is a narrow footpath over some steps to a viewpoint with wonderful views of Bad Ischl and the surrounding area. There are benches under the linden trees to sit and enjoy the scene. This viewpoint was well known to Dr Sterz, an employee of Dr Wirer and one of the founders of the Bad Ischl as a spa town. Follow further on, descending to the Nöbauerweg and left to Kroissengraben after a short descent this becomes a gravel road through the forest. The road ascends and descends through the forest back to the River Traun. From here follow Maxquellgasse downstream to the Maxquellbrunnen (Maximilian fountain). This was erected in 1868 by Emperor Franz Joseph to commemorate the shooting of his brother, Emperor Maximilian of Mexico, in Queretaro in 1867 .The fountain also serves as a Kneipp Health system. The trail leads under the railway line and over the Steinfeld Bridge back to the starting point.
