Description
The forest ditch of the Unrechttraisen leads to the Kernhofer Gscheid (03:30 h). From St. Aegyd it is also possible to reach the Gscheid via Kernhof. After the Gscheid there is a stretch of road, after which you turn into a forest road and cross the Krumbachsattel into the Walstertal (junction with the Falkenschluchtweg from Türnitz). The trail continues along the Hubertussee (on asphalt) to the Bruder-Klaus-Kirche (02:30 h). From here you walk westwards in the Walstertal valley to the turn-off to the moderately strenuous Habertheuersattel. Once there, descend to the Sebastianiweg and Rosenkranzweg trails and continue along these to the Mariazell Gnadenkirche (03:15 h from Walstern).
