The route starts in the center of Bad Loipersdorf and follows (for the entire distance) the “bottle” signs or the blue signs featuring a white wheelchair. Initially, you walk slightly off the beaten path between the fields—with the town always in sight—heading south, where after about 800 m, near the gas station, you’ll reach the turnoff toward Stein. Take the sidewalk to Stein here. After passing the Rehgraben Chapel, turn left onto Rehgrabenstraße, then after 30 m, turn right again immediately into the forest. At the end of this path, turn right and after about 50 m, at the small bridge, turn left onto the sidewalk and continue to the sports field in the village of Stein.

This is where the accessible section of the path "Schritt & Tritt) ends; follow the same route back to the starting point in Bad Loipersdorf.

This trail is also suitable for cyclists and is suitable for baby carriages.
