Turn-by-turn directions

The herbal hiking trail starts on the left side of the municipal office in the direction of the church. The path continues along the access road to the Rodler inn. On the right behind the inn we find the first station of the cross. The path shows us the Way of the Cross until station number 13. At this waypoint the hiking path branches off to the left. Arrived at the Buschenschank Mayer (Moar Pertl) we follow the asphalt road to the right. Now our hike leads over a longer asphalt stretch (about 2 km) until it turns diagonally right onto a meadow about 300 m before the Krenn49 wine farm. We hike along the ridge and after 2 residential houses we come back to the asphalt road.

The herb hike continues to the left. At the next crossroads, past an old wooden house, we turn left to Weinhof Krenn 49. At the next crossroads we turn right. We follow the path and so we pass the Schaar family and the Frühwirth bee garden. At the intersection with the state road, the herb hike leads to the left. The Landesstraße leads us, past the Lafer family, directly to the starting point.

Equipment

Proper backpack packing makes many things easier: Pack heavy things first. The water bottle should always be within reach in a side pocket. All the things that are often needed, such as sunglasses, camera or hiking map, belong on top. An emergency kit, including blister plasters, belongs in every rucksack and it is always advisable to dress in layers.
