Dominion forest trail (Herrschaftswaldweg)

At the beginning of the tour you will take some impressions of the center of the 2-thermal region Bad Waltersdorf. A visit to the Roman Stone Museum next to the parish church is highly recommended. Cross the main intersection - then turn right along Schulstraße past the outdoor pool and the school. Then continue straight ahead over the railroad crossing to the thermal spa, after which the tour joins the so-called Thermenstraße. Cross the crossroads in Wagerberg straight on and you are already on a forest path past the pond. The path leads to Limbach and past its ponds. Then turn right into the Herrschaftswald. At the end of the asphalt road turn right, then cross the bridge and take the Burgauer Straße back to Wagerberg and the village center.

Tips when reporting an emergency – Answer these six WH questions: What happened? How many people are injured? Where did the accident happen (are there GPS coordinates)? Who is reporting the incident (callback number)? When did the accident happen? What is the weather like at the site of the incident?

Proper backpack packing makes many things easier: Pack heavy things first. The water bottle should always be within reach in a side pocket. All the things that are often needed, such as sunglasses, camera or hiking map, belong on top. An emergency kit, including blister plasters, belongs in every rucksack and it is always advisable to dress in layers.
