From Kirchenplatz square we hike along Hauptstraße and take a right turn into Schulweg road. We hike past the secondary school and continue on a country lane. We hike northwards and get to Etzing, where there is also a Donausteig resting place. After Etzing we take a right turn and hike down towards the Danube. We leave the road at the last farm house and continue on a country lane and then through the forest down to Schlögen. We hike past Hotel Donauschlinge and up to Schlögener Blick vantage point. Then we continue on Ciconia Trail for a bit. We follow Donausteig Trail until we leave Haibach. In the Donauleiten hills we take a turn towards Wiesing and after a downhill section we cross the Nibelungen federal road. On the other side of the road we hike uphill again on a ski piste. We leave the forest at Dunzing and continue to hike through the cultured landscape. We pass the Fadinger monument and two guesthouses before we get back to St. Agatha.
