Kalkofenrundweg

The trail takes you from the outskirts of Zettenreith up a small hill, then through a small forest to the main road toward Zissersdorf. To the left of the road lies the Phyrahof settlement. These so-called “resettlement farms” were provided in 1940 as compensation for the residents displaced by the Allentsteig military training area. Cross the road—go straight ahead down toward Unterthumeritz and turn right through the village. Just outside the village, toward the settlement on the other bank of the Thumeritzbach along the road to Sieghartsreith, stands the lime kiln. Unterthumeritz was the regional center of lime production. The kiln was built in 1904 with three burning chambers and was one of the largest of its kind in Central Europe. The hiking trail takes you back via Oberthumeritz. Almost at the edge of the village, turn right and head uphill toward Goslarn. A) At the edge of Goslarn, turn slightly left onto a dirt road and you’ll return to Zettenreith. Connection to TTW 633 toward Drosendorf. B) Or, at the edge of Goslarn, continue straight along the road to TTW 633 toward Japons.
