The tour over the Mühlsteinboden starts through the Stiftsgarten, past the Beautiful Cross and on to the Heiligenstadt Church. At the Wirt am Pichl farm you walk through the forest to the reading garden at St. Blasner Church. Once here, follow a steep path up to Mühlsteinboden, where you can enjoy the fantastic mountain panorama at the small pilgrimage church. Afterwards you always go slightly downhill until just before Karchau, where the path changes direction and leads down to Seebauer. Follow the road downhill for a few meters and then hike along beautiful forest paths through the forests of the Koglerberg. From the meadows, high above St. Lambrecht, you can once again enjoy the wonderful deep view of the town before walking along the rarely used road back to the starting point of the hike.
