Geht in beide Richtungen, in der Regel wird der Weg von West nach Ost (also donauabwärts von Wilhering in Richtung Linz) bevorzugt. Teilweise Trittsicherheit und Schwindelfreiheit erforderlich. Anfangs Forstweg, danach für längere Zeit ein schmaler Pfad mit einigen Auf-/Abpassagen.

Im Winter wegen der Nordhanglage und Frost-/Tauwechsel relevante Eisgefahr gegeben
Mountainbike strengstens verboten. Mehrere Verbotstafeln bei den Zufahrten.

Enjoy your trail-running. Keep in mind that hikers use this way too.
Hikers have priority. Be nice, friendy and respectful.
