Wenigzell, children's playground, old armory, in front of the school, village square
- The starting point is the village square.
- We follow the markings and pass the Buchtelbar
- Immediately afterwards, turn left towards the cemetery
- After the Köberl farm (vlg. Poihofer), the path descends slightly and we cross the Haselbach stream
- After a few meters, we turn left and continue along the Bründlweg at a leisurely pace
- It wasn't really strenuous yet, but we still relax with a "forest bath" and enjoy the wonderful peace and quiet
- Fresh and refreshed, we continue to the elevated tank (local water pipe), then turn left to the local history museum and we are back at the village square.
