Circular hike Weißkirchen

This circular hiking trail is considered the absolute "classic" in Zirbenland. A "must-hike", so to speak.
From Weißkirchen, it is not long to reach the Maxlan Chapel. From there you have a beautiful view of the village with its characteristic church tower. Weather masses are regularly held at the Maxlan Chapel, which stands in the middle of the forest. The route then continues via Schoberegg and Riedler to Eberdorf. And back again to Weißkirchen.
