Loop
The starting point is the car park at St. Sebastian's Church. Be careful when crossing the main road when walking towards Breitenegg. The castle dates from the 13th century and had Romanesque and Gothic elements, but now only a ruin can be seen. You now follow the Breitenegger Weg towards the forest. Where the forest meets the Wissinger Laaber, a sharp left turn is made and the water is crossed. You now follow it again in the direction of Breitenbrunn. You get to Premerzhofener Straße, which you follow uphill for a while and then turn left onto a forest path towards the sports field. Cross the Laber again, walk along the campsite and cross the main road, keep to the left and after about 100 meters turn right into the forest path until you finally come back to a paved road. Turn sharply left onto the dirt road and return to the starting point past some viewpoints.
