Description: A fairly leisurely hike for everyone with a small, quite steep passage, but which is rewarded with a wonderful view!
Directions: We start our tour at the village square in Fischbach and walk to the gas station. Before this we turn right and follow the road past a large warehouse, where the gravel road begins. At the beginning we have a good view towards Falkenstein, then we enjoy the peace and quiet of the forest. In a right-hand bend we turn left into a narrow, steep path uphill along a small stream. This path finally flows into a forest path, which we continue until we arrive at the "Countess Villa" - a pretty little house. From there it goes slightly downhill along the access road until we arrive at Veronika's Kräuterhof. We march left into the street until we are back past the gas station on the village square in Fischbach. We can also do the tour in reverse order!

A few tips on correct and fair behaviour in the forest: (Source: www.bundesforste.at )

Hikers should avoid visits to the forest about 1.5 hours before sunrise and after sunset, as wild animals are particularly active during 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 lighting fires are strictly forbidden in the forest!

In principle, every person is allowed to pick 2 kg of mushrooms and berries per day for personal use. It is only prohibited if the forest owner expressly forbids it.
Tips: There are many places to stop for refreshments as well as a swimming lake and a mini golf course in Fischbach.
