Detailed information on how to get here can be found here.

We start at the village square and turn right at the Pestsäule, after the Hotel Fast, and follow the markings (also trail no. 7 and Kraftpfad) to the "Tarbauer", then left past a "Waldhäuschen", a short steep section and we can really relax and recharge our batteries while "forest bathing"
Recovered, we reach the sea buckthorn fields via a wonderful field path
After the "Atelier Kroisleitner", we cross the road and come to another short section of forest (or turn left along the road and immediately take the next right)
Now we follow the asphalt road, past a few farms (path no. 7 and Kraftpfad branches off to the right at "Hans im Winkl", we continue straight ahead), until we leave the road on the right after the house Auer "Hansl im Graben"
A forest path/woodland trail continues to the "Antoni Taferl" - immediately afterwards we take the left-hand bend - until shortly before the "Reitbauer" (Kleinland). Now we walk along meadow and forest paths through the "Kleinwald" and "Auf der Halt"
Continue - towards the village - past the "Schwingesbauer", "Poschn" to the "Poschn Brücke" bridge
Now turn right again up into the forest to the "Bratlam"
The wood-fired roast, which of course we don't miss - but let it melt in our mouths, is well deserved
After refreshments (including a schnapps from Edenbauer), we cover the last few meters of the hike and arrive at our destination, back at the village square

We recommend a visit to the sea buckthorn gardens and a wood-fired roast at the Bratlalm!
