Brief description

 Beautiful but long circular route with great dining opportunity at the Kitzhütte

Description

From the village square in Hollenstein initially to Bauerhaus Hochschlag and on the partly steep alpine path to the Kitzhütte (operated from May to October). Past it, the path leads down on the forest road to Eisgrabensattel. Here a forest road branches off to the right, running high above the Sandgraben valley outwards. After about 2 km a hunting trail begins where sure-footedness is partly required, leading out to the beautifully situated mountain meadow of Hochau. Following the marking, past the former Hof Hochscheuch, the path merges again into Königsbergstraße at Sattelreith, and on this it goes about 400m uphill back to the starting point.
