Route description Starting at the Zwettl private brewery, the path leads over Karl-Hagl-Straße into the Schleifgraben, past the somewhat eerie Devil's Rock, and turns right before Koblhof into a forest path that leads over the Weißenberg. Along the Sierningbach, you pass the historic waterworks of the Zwettl private brewery, then the path turns right in the Viehgraben towards the federal road and continues along idyllic forest paths to the Schwarz Alm, where you can take a cozy break.
