From the “Grüner Specht” inn, we walk past St. Nicholas Church across the church square in the direction of “Blahbach”. After crossing the stream, we follow Bachstraße to the “Nagelschmiedkreuz” and continue along Franz-Josef-Straße. Passing the biomass heating plant and forest park, we ascend slightly, walk through idyllic forest and reach the Treffenthaler farmstead.
Our hike starts at the “Grüner Specht” inn and leads us first to St. Nicholas Church, from where we walk across the church square towards “Blahbach”. After crossing the stream, we follow Bachstraße in an easterly direction to the “Nagelschmiedkreuz”. We continue along Franz-Josef-Straße, past the biomass heating plant and through the “Pumperwaldl” forest park. The path now leads past a smallholding and a quarry and climbs slightly. We reach a path that takes us through an idyllic strip of forest to a meadow. At the beginning of this meadow, we recognize the farmstead vlg. Treffenthaler farm on the right. After the farmstead, the path continues in the direction of Franz-Josefs-Höhe until you reach a cell phone mast. Here we can either take a short detour to the Franz-Josefs-Höhe viewing platform or hike directly back down the forest path towards Oberzeiring. Passing the “Bründerl”, we return to the village center and the starting point of our tour, the “Grüner Specht” inn.
