Here, turn left and head down to the S1, S4 and S06. Follow the markings to the right across the footbridge up to the primary school. Keep left here and follow the S4 path past the secondary school to the Klug joinery. There, keep left and after a few steps, turn right into the woods across the footbridge to the road. At the crossroads, turn left onto Stockaner Straße and after about 100 metres you will be back at the starting point.
Here you can treat yourself to a drink at the Krainerhof wine tavern or in the café. What animals can you spot on this walk? Enjoy this short tour.
