The trail leads to Einöd, to Austria's steepest vineyard, the Malli Winery, and back via the old Roman road.
From the wine museum, we follow the path to the church, where we are treated to a breathtaking view of the hilly landscape. We leave the church behind us and keep left at the next junction. We follow the ridge until we finally descend through the vineyards to the Malli wine tavern. From here, we follow the old Roman road and enjoy the view of the picturesque Sulm Valley until we reach the junction with the main road at the Weinkitz inn. A short right turn and we are already on our way back to the starting point.
