Exit Knittelfeld West - Gaal - Bischoffeld
Free parking Gasthof Wachter
This circular hiking trail starts at the Wachter inn and takes you to the sunny side of the Gaalgraben. You walk past a game reserve and enjoy the view. Shortly after the Steinwendner Hütte, you have already covered 300m. The trail then continues along the Wallnerweg past a few farms to the main road. The last section leads back to the starting point via the Gaaler Rundwanderweg.
Avoid time pressure and choose a pace that ensures no one in the group gets out of breath.

Falls as a result of slipping or stumbling are the most common cause of accidents! Be aware that too fast a pace or tiredness can severely impair your surefootedness and concentration.

Good hiking boots protect and relieve the foot and improve surefootedness! When making your choice, look for a perfect fit, non-slip tread sole, waterproofness and light weight.

Adapt your equipment to your hike and make sure your backpack is lightweight. Nevertheless, rain, cold and sun protection always belong in your backpack, as well as a first aid kit and cell phone (Euro emergency call 112). Map or GPS support the orientation.
