“Pure solitude” from Laaben to Breitenfurt

Tip/Fun-Fact:  “Pure solitude” is the slogan for this hiking route. Enjoy the tranquillity and the seclusion – a sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

From Laaben, we will hike eastwards, and take the first turn-off to the right (WWW 04, red). At the Icelandic horse farm, WWW 04 branches off to the left, and leads to the golf course. Once there, we will leave WWW 04 and bear right onto an unmarked route. Back on the country road, we will head eastwards, crossing the Lammeraubauch (no bridge!) after approx. 500 m, and hike to Klein- Krottenbach. We will head north along the country road, for approx. 12 km until we reach the lumber yard, and then turn right towards Schusternazl, once again passing through Kleiner Winkelberg and the “Die Woeglerin” inn. The next step is to follow a blue signposted, 700 m walking route along the country road to Stangau. Once there, we will turn left towards Eichberg and Gernberg. At the “Sieben Eichen” rest point, we will keep left until the sports field, and then bear left through the forest, following the blue route. After passing the red cross, we will switch to the green route marked (after approx. 600 m). The trail will take us to Breitenfurt, where our hike ends at the sports field.
