The trail starts at the main square in Semriach, heading north to Marktbach and continuing uphill past the secondary school into the Bürgerwald with the fairy tale path. The route then follows forest and meadow paths through a ravine, crossing to the opposite side before ascending a steep section, first downhill and then uphill again, leading to the Karl am Stein area. From there, the trail heads southwards downhill, then turns right back into Bürgerwald and follows the familiar path back to the starting point in Semriach.
