Description

The loop trail starts in the village centre and leads past Karling and Pupping through the cultured landscape of the Eferding Basin to the ascent of Schaunberg Castle Ruins at the airfield in Pupping. From there one follows a nice forestry trail uphill to the castle ruins. The loop trail is picturesque and offers interesting insights into the cultured landscape (old farms, a mill). Absolute highlight of the trail are the Schaunberg Castle Ruins from which one enjoys a fantastic view of the Eferding Basin. Having visited the castle ruins one follow a forestry trail parallel to the road that leads past a guesthouse. A non-asphalt road connects Wolfsfurth with Poxham (Franzosenkreuz Cross). Past Hacking one get back to Hartkirchen.
