Description
From the village square to the beginning of the high trail. This comfortably laid out path leads to the highest point (approx. 600 m). It ends when descending at a forest road, then continues uphill towards the Ziegelauer Sattel. Up to here, the marking was No. 1, from now on it is No. 3.
At a bend, a forest track branches off steeply along the creek into a densely wooded area. Further up, the path becomes narrower and continues as an old cart track, getting steeper and leading up to a forest road. While the road makes a left bend, the path follows the densely wooded ravine directly up to the Ziegelauer Sattel (720 m).
From here, you ascend to the summit meadow of the Gallenzer Kogel (782 m), then descend along a forest track to the Gallenzen farm. From here, an asphalt road leads down into the valley. On the way back towards the village, you walk along the Eisenstraße to the "Steindlbrücke" on the right creek bank back to the town center of Hollenstein.
