Naturfreundeweg (P4)

Up and down through town and forest

From the start on the main square, the route leads out of the town centre and through residential areas up the Karlingberg. The ascent via Schützenweg is the first climb. Passing the ostrich farm of the Mostheurigen Karlingberger, we cross the LAndesstraße. The route leads past the Poschachersiedlung settlement to a pedestrian crossing. Here we cross the road and follow the road downhill to the Kuchlmühle. Before the Kuchlmühle, the path leads westwards - which need not stop you from enjoying a snack or a drink in this traditional inn.
The hiking route crosses the Naarn and the main road and then follows the access road to the clay pigeon shooting range. This long, mostly shady ascent leads to the edge of the district of Lanzenberg. If the weather is clear, you can take a short breather here and enjoy a sweeping panoramic view across the Danube valley to the Alps. After a few metres to the south, the route branches off sharply to the left and leads downhill along the road. After approx. 1,000 metres, take care - the tour branches off sharply to the right and leads along the edge of the forest for around 100 metres before branching off into the forest. Along the Hinterbach stream, which also has its source here, the path leads to the Oberer Vormarkt settlement. Here we make a loop and pass the Scherer millstone quarry. Trail no. 4 leads through the settlement and then into the municipal forest. Here, the hike takes us on the most challenging part of the route: the path leads downhill to Stefaniehain, past the earth barn (can only be visited by prior arrangement and only for groups of 6 or more people) back onto Mühlsteinstraße and back to the main square.
