R9 Biraurunde

Hike through Rainbach's fascinating forest area. The Birau loop leads through one of the largest contiguous forest areas in the municipality. However, it is divided by the former horse-drawn railway and the current railway. Tip: visit the Kerschbaum horse-drawn railway museum, where you can learn interesting facts about the first railway on the European continent.
The loop starts past the Rainbach parish church. At a beautifully preserved horse-drawn railway viaduct, you turn towards the Birau. In the middle of the forest, you walk along the embankment of the route of what was once the first railway laid on rails.
Enjoy the different facets of this forest, especially the wonderful forest air. Back out of the forest, you walk along the current railway and then back to Rainbach.
