The path now leads downhill along a small stream, beautiful mixed forests are a welcome change. After reaching Gusentalstraße, take the pavement in the direction of Gallneukirchen. At the Hofmühle mill, you climb up the steep path to Riedegg Castle. The castle was built around 1145 and has changed hands many times over the years. The castle was rebuilt in 1609 and a brick-paved equestrian staircase has been preserved in the courtyard from this period. From the castle, follow the signposts towards Spattendorf. A dirt track leads through a farm entrance and onwards between richly cultivated fields to the forest. You walk back to the starting point via the village of Grasbach.
