This circular trail leads us starting from Stein/Enns via the path up to Dörfl. Attention danger of slipping, this short section is not prepared and somewhat steep. A detour via the tennis court Stein/Enns to Dörfl is possible. Once in Dörfl, continue hiking up in the direction of Gelsenberg until you turn right to Tunzendorf. Now you return to the valley, where you walk along the bike path back to Stein/Enns.

In winter, caution is advised even on seemingly easy hikes. In shady areas, the ground can be slightly icy, and there may be avalanche danger below slopes. Mountaineering is therefore primarily a matter of personal responsibility – even more so in winter. Tourist associations and avalanche warning services assume no liability whatsoever based on the information provided.

Your equipment should ideally include:

Ankle-high, warm shoes. Waterproof, warm shoes with a treaded sole are ideal. Optional: Gaiters for additional snow protection.
A hood and warm clothing, ideally layered. Don't forget a change of clothes for longer winter hikes: a wind and waterproof jacket and trousers.
A small backpack with a warm drink in a thermos and snacks as needed
Sun protection
Cell phone
First aid kit
Optional: crampons/snow spikes (snow chains for shoes), telescopic hiking poles for better grip and balance.
