Directions:
Wir starten in Pfarrkirchen bei der Volksschule. Durch den Golfplatz geht es hinein in den Wald und über den Wanderweg „Salzweg“ auf Feldwegen nach Hofkirchen, wo wir rechts abbiegen. Wir halten uns Richtung Neubau. Nach dem letzten Bauernhof steigen wir durch den Wald nach Niederranna ab. In Niederranna gehen wir der Donau entlang Richtung Rannamühl (Startplatz Rannamühl).
