We start in front of the town hall and turn right into the narrow Rathausgasse, a pedestrian shortcut to the Gürtel. Here we first turn left and then right at the next opportunity into Berggasse. Our route leads through a pleasant residential area via Blassensteinweg steadily uphill to the Pastelöd house in Ginning. Here our route turns slightly to the left and descends again towards Sollböck. We cross the main road and then continue straight ahead along a forest path along the ridge to our destination at the lonely tree. The way back leads us straight ahead through the Armenwald forest to the Punzengrub house. Now we follow the Hochweinberg estate road downhill, via Haus Windhag and the organic Tavern Fenzl with its beautiful meadow orchard back into the settlement area. We are now on the Hochweinbergweg, which leads us back to the town. Via the long Feldgasse, past the Landesklinikum to Hauptstraße and back to our starting point at Rathausplatz.
