Hiking trail Birkfeld - St. Georgen

Hike from Birkfeld to St. Georgen and back again to Birkfeld

We start the hike at the Birkfeld railway station car park and walk along the pavement past the petrol station up "Dechantleitenweg" towards the centre of Birkfeld, from the lower main square straight on to the upper main square, past the Mariensäule (St Mary's Column) up towards Bergasse, keep left after the pharmacy to Borg and come to Birkengasse, which we walk along and past the sports field, then on the right is the Fidlschuster restaurant (refreshment stop) and on the left is Schokoladen Felber. In front of us is now the tennis hall (sports cafe), at the safety path we cross Gasener Straße and walk along the pavement of the road past Lieb Markt and Billa, after approx. 200 m we leave the road and turn right into the forest path. Walk down through the forest to the bridge over the Gasenbach, turn left after the bridge and you will see the Sallegger sawmill on your left. Continue along the road for about 500 m, then a small path on the right leads you into the forest, which you follow uphill for about 200 m until you reach St. Georgen, where you can stop for refreshments at the Grünbichler inn. Strengthened, we hike back along the same path to the starting point.
