Market square - Windhaag sports ground - Waschenberg - Edhiasl Höhe - Edlbauer Felsen - Jankuskirche - Pachinger - sports ground

The trail starts at the market square and we walk towards the sports field, then we hike through meadows and fields through an ascending section of forest towards Plochwald to the Edlbauer stone rock. Here you can climb on the stone rock, which is secured by climbing aids, and enjoy a marvellous view to the west. After about a 10-minute walk, we pass the "Silbersee". A short detour (approx. 5 minutes) leads to the highest point of this hiking route and offers views as far as the Alps. We then head downhill through Predetschlag towards the Jankas church. Here you can climb up the stone rock again. There is an idyllic rest area with a bench at the foot of the rock formation. After a short ascent, the trail continues through the Waschenberg area to the Predetschlag goods road and in approx. 25 min. we reach the starting point again.
