Refreshing walk through the Kneipp circuit and adventures in the Rehbachklamm gorge
Starting from the village centre (church), follow the road downhill to the south until you find the path down into the forest on the left just before the fire station. The path leads you along the stream, past the open-air inhalatorium and furthermore you will pass the site of an old chalk oven. After that, the path features a gentle incline and takes you around the edge of the Oberfeld district as you head back to the village centre. Once there, you will pass the Gasthof Weberbauer and you should follow the pavement along the Hintersteiner See road. Before coming to the bridge in the district of Bruggenmoos, make a right turn near the large sculpture and head into the Rehbachklamm gorge (no. 42). You will now follow a wild and romantic route that takes you past a log cabin and over bridges as you walk along the stream. Soon after, you will need to climb some steps to reach the final bridge. Turn left and follow the forest road towards Hinterschiesslingalm. After passing the small car park, you will see the entrance gate to the upper section of the gorge. Crossing bridges via wooden stairs, the trail also leads past a lit and accessible mining tunnel from the 16th century. Bear right once you leave the gorge, taking the road (no. 41) and heading back along the forest road to reach the district of Leiten and then the village centre. Finally, on the south side of the municipal office, there is a water treading pool and an arm band, which invite you to linger.
