Popis trasy "Pure Solitude" from Laaben to Breitenfurt

This path is a challenge due to its length. We start directly in front of the municipal office and hike eastward. At the first right turn (dead end), we follow the red-white-red marking (long-distance trail 04). At the end of the alley begins a roughly 700 m long meadow path to the first farmhouse and then continuing partly on paved farm roads, forest paths, and gravel roads. At the Forsthof Icelandic horse farm, the long-distance trail 04 turns left, which we follow up to the golf course. Immediately after the golf course, we leave the long-distance trail and turn right onto an unmarked path. Once back on the state road, we follow it eastward and cross the Lammeraubauch after about 500 m (caution, no footbridge!). Under the motorway, we reach the village of Klein-Krottenbach. We now face a roughly 1.2 km long asphalt section northward along the state road before turning right at the ÖBF timber storage area. From here, aside from a short section on the state road, we walk approximately 2 ½ hours on forest and meadow paths to the Schusternazl inn. Over the Kleiner Winkelberg, we reach the Zur Wöglering inn. Next is a white-blue-white marked 700 m long walk down the state road to Stangau. There, we immediately turn left again onto the forest road. The ascent around Eichberg and to Gernberg is always gentle. At the “Sieben Eichen” power spot, we turn left on a forest road to the sports field, where we turn left onto the forest path, following the white-blue-white marking. After the “Red Cross,” we switch after about 600 m to the white-green-white marking, descending through the forest to Breitenfurt, where our hike ends at the sports field.
