Route description Klosterhofweg, No. 90

Leaving the historic town center, the path leads past the beautiful single-family houses of the Edenbühel settlement to the idyllic recreational pond with a place to stop for refreshments. There you will find, in addition to a large sunbathing lawn, a beach volleyball court and a playground with climbing equipment. The path continues to the village of Eisengraben. Now the Baumgartenweg winds through the fields into the valley to Neuwirtshaus, where the Staar guesthouse invites you to rest in a cozy atmosphere. In the shade of the forest, you hike along the bank of the Reislingbach. After a short climb, you reach open fields again and return through Eisengraben to the starting point of your hike. There, the Schlosstaverne Kargl awaits you for refreshments. The local history museum and Jaidhof Castle also look forward to your visit by appointment.

Author's tip

Place to stop for refreshments in Jaidhof, in the Schlosstaverne Kargl; also worth seeing are the Jaidhof local history museum and Jaidhof Castle.

This route is also excellently suited as a running route and can, of course, also be cycled, as there are no major climbs to overcome.
