As with the Alpine foothills tour, the route begins as far as Rotte Melk. After a downhill section to Weigstatt, you turn into the Maierhof estate road in the hollow. The tour continues to the left via the Edlach estate road. Then uphill to the next country road, where you are rewarded with a beautiful view, before turning left again along the Zimmerau estate road through the "Hameth-Holz" to the Sillhöhe. Here you cross the main road and follow the path towards Forst am Berg, which joins the Scheibenbach estate road. Keep right until you reach the junction to the left onto the Hörmannsberg estate road. The route then leads first through the forest, then in a long and fast descent, first asphalt, then gravel path, past meadows and fields, to Dörfl. Continue along a dirt track to the left bank of the Melk and then turn right to Burmühle. Here you cross the river bridge and immediately turn right again to return to the starting point.
