Circular trail on the sunny side

From the centre of Kleinlobming (1), 759 m, we head towards the church. The road passes below the church and leads gently uphill until, after a few metres, we have a beautiful view of the valley. Immediately after a bend to the right, we leave the paved road, turn left and walk across a short stretch of meadow and along well-marked hiking trails to the junction for the Hauser snack station (2), 880 metres. It is approx. 10 minutes downhill to the snack station. The Sonnseiten circular hiking trail continues straight ahead to the Ebnerhütte (3), 885 metres. Please note that you enter a pasture just before the Ebnerhütte, but this ends just after the building. If the fence is to be opened, make sure that everything is properly closed again. In spring and autumn, when there are no grazing cattle, the Ebnerhütte makes a wonderful resting place. The route now continues steadily uphill until we leave the road at a left-hand bend to follow the hiking trail to the right. Here we have reached the highest point of the hike. Along the edge of the forest and further downhill through the forest, a short stretch a little steeper, we reach a tarmac road or a crossroads. Now turn left and follow the tarmac road uphill, which leads through the farm vlg. Kahlbauer farm (4), 915 m, and then continues along a paved gravel road. Now we hike along at a leisurely pace until the signpost to the right can be seen after a right-hand bend. The forest track eventually leads into a hiking trail that leads to a wooden footbridge and a fountain. Then follow the forest road slightly downhill and you will soon see the signpost to Jausen-Platzl (5), 835 metres. A cosy place to enjoy the view of the valley. After the break, we follow the forest road downhill until we reach the tarmac road in the valley. Here we turn right and follow the road into the centre of Kleinlobming.
