Popis trasy Biberbach Haidschachen Chapel Route
The Haidschachen Chapel Route leads to the "Kumpfmühle" on the Parkfried Chapel Route: From the starting point at the village square below the church, we cross the main intersection heading west past the (1) Berndl wayside cross and follow the L 6204 until just outside the village. After the (2) Graberhäusel wayside cross, we turn right and walk along a meadow path (see also the signposting "454 Mostviertler Circular Hiking Trail") towards the quadrangular farm "Thalbauer". Here the route continues north past the (3) Kumpfmühle wayside cross and turns left onto the "Hub" farm road, where we pass the (39) Großhub wayside cross. At the end of the farm road, we enter a short forest and a trail leading to the hamlet "Leiten", where the path turns right towards the hamlet "Pratstrum". At this junction we turn left heading west, past the (40) Pratstrum chapel shrine with its ancient hornbeam stand. In front of the small house on the left side, the route then leads along a field path southwards until we meet the road again and follow it to the intersection with the L6204, where on the left side stands the (41) Kansering wayside cross. After crossing the state road, we follow the farm road and turn left in the forest towards the quadrangular farm "Haidschachen". Behind the farmstead, we come across one of the largest Biberbach chapels, the (42) Haidschachen Chapel. Along a field path, the route crosses a small creek towards the hamlet "Innergrub", passes between the two quadrangular farms, and turns right onto the "Kansering" farm road. At the beginning of the nearby small forest, the path turns left and leads between trees and along a gravel path to the quadrangular farm "Kautzhof" and opposite the farmstead to the (21) Kautzhof Chapel. Here we follow the meadow and forest path towards the quadrangular farm "Wiesmühle" with the (20) Wiesmühle wayside cross and from there north along the L 6189 back to the starting point in the village center.
