Immediately after the tourist office, turn right and walk along the cemetery wall, past the Haus der Begegnung and the kindergarden, until you reach the district of Urchen. Here you cross the main road and continue walking up the Urslau along trail no. 11 until you reach the Unterberg district. Keep to the right here and walk along the Jetzbach stream to the Bachleitbauern farm. Now the trail climbs slightly and you pass the Jetzbachbauer and Hangleiten farms. From now on the trail goes downhill again and over the Schloßberg back to Maria Alm.

Stay on the marked hiking trails. Small steps and a steady pace save energy going uphill and protect your joints going downhill. If you tilt your upper body slightly forward when going downhill, you reduce the risk of slipping. Check the weather forecast. Fog and bad weather can come surprisingly quickly. Turn back in good time before you take a risk. Do not leave waste in the countryside
