Attention dog owners: The way out of Neuhaus leads over a cattle pasture. But you can easily avoid it via the small road to the east next to the hiking trail. At the end of the road, a forest path leads back to the hiking trail on the left

This morning, while choosing our tour, my Monika rejected the three suggested options and said quite dryly, "Let's go to the Triesting Valley again." That didn't catch me off guard, because I had prepared plenty of things. She immediately chose the first one, and so we drove to Hafnerberg to hike up the Peilstein. On the way back, we had …

So don't play the brave, but around the …
