From Wörschach to Stainach goes the trail that leads through a beech forest and along rock walls and brooks.
Between Wörschach and Niederhofen you will discover this fine trail along rock walls and a nice brook, which is fortunately not only reserved for blue bloods. In Niederhofen you return near the castle Friedstein. Here you have the choice how to start the way back. The same way back through the forest or the somewhat easier, flatter way along the accompanying road to the main road - just as you like or your feet still want.
