Starting from Gasthaus Hagmann in Brand or from the church, the path first descends into the village of Brand, then gently rises passing a plague memorial and the Schatzbichl. You continue to hike on well-maintained paths downhill to the former brickworks at the Rührmühle. Afterwards, the path runs through a wooded area along the Purzelkamp. A slight ascent through the forest follows up to the highest point of the municipality, the Loschberg. From the Loschberg, the path goes downhill past the village of Wiesenreith and the Wiesenreither pond. Mostly flat, the path leads toward Brand and after a final short ascent returns to the starting point at the church in Waldhausen.
