Description

From the information office, head towards Intersport Kienpointner. Walk straight ahead over the crossroads and along the road to the sharp left-hand bend (campsite). Turn right here into Schäferauweg. The Schäferau Chapel is located along the way and legend has it that a lost shepherd vowed to build a chapel in this meadow. The tour continues around the Mühlberg to the Schöttlweg. Keep right and follow the Grießelbach stream to the tennis court. Cross the bridge here and continue along the dam to Achenweg. Turn left and follow the L2 Pillerseestraße back to the starting point.
