This path is also the pilgrimage route from the Pöllau parish church to the Pöllauberg pilgrimage church and part of the Hirschbirn hiking trail towards Pöllauberg, the signposting for which begins at the signposts in the castle park (south of the Parkcafe). We start at the Pöllau parish church and walk along Schmiedgasse to the roundabout at the bypass ("Pöllau Mitte"), where we meet hiking trail 942 north of the Raiffeisenbank as well as the signs "Hirschbirnweg" and "Wallfahrerweg" towards Kalvarienbergkirche (1699). The trail continues over the Goldsberg to St Mary's pilgrimage church on the Pöllauberg.
Alternatives for the way back: Follow hiking trail 946 east of the church from the "Zum Jagawirt" inn, Goger family. The trail leads via Ölkreuz, Obersalberg, Buschenschank Haubenwaller and Hotel Retter red markings (no. 8) or via the Hirschbirnwanderweg trail back to Pöllau. Total duration of the hike via the described alternative return route or Hirschbirnwanderweg trail: approx. 2.5 to 3.5 hours.

Correct behaviour when hiking: Rules of behaviour when hiking
A few tips on correct and fair behaviour in the forest: (Source: www.bundesforste.at)
Hikers should avoid visiting the forest approx. 1.5 hours before sunrise and after sunset, as wild animals are particularly active at this time. Plastic bottles, handkerchiefs, cigarette butts etc. have no place in the forest! Please make sure that you do not leave any rubbish in the forest. Camping and making fires is strictly forbidden in the forest! In principle, every person in the forest is allowed to collect 2kg of mushrooms and berries per day for their own use. It is only prohibited if the forest owner expressly forbids it. - Tips
