Stoanaweg

Demanding hike with multiple options.
0 km  You start the hike in the local centre of Kollerschlag (726 m), pass the Lauss butcher's shop and shortly afterwards turn left into the road towards Sarleinsbach, follow it and turn left into the Leitenweg while still in the village. After approx. 300 metres of asphalt road, leave the road on the right at the Leitenhäusln and take a meadow path that leads steeply uphill to the

1.4 km Gott sei Dank-Platzl . A "Thank God" quickly comes to mind after this climb. Enjoy the view of Kollerschlag. You take the path through the forest and reach the village of Lengau, head towards the opposite edge of the forest, always following the markings and pass the...

3.0 km  Wolfsgrube (the wolf trap probably dates back to the Middle Ages). Shortly afterwards, you can take a detour to the Hochstein, which is not included in the total kilometres. (Finds indicate that there was probably a wooden clearing castle of the Falkensteiner family at Hochstein). After 500 metres, you can take a 25-minute detour to the ...

3.5 km  Drucker Franzl Stein - not included in the total walking time - (The printer Franzl, who lived around 1700, was a well-known smuggler and robber who hid there from his pursuers and avoided punishment, hence the name). Back on the Stoanaweg, you now hike downhill to the...

6.2 km  Kühstein Enjoy the wide view of the Kleine Mühl valley, the Bohemian Forest and the district town of Rohrbach to the east from the rocky plateau. (Is the Kühstein a former sacrificial site - clay shards, ramparts and ditches indicate this - or are the hollows and the hollow a result of the weathering process?) Now the forest path leads steeply downhill to the...

6.5 km  Bründlstein, which takes its name from the water-filled hollow in the stone. From here, it's downhill to the village of Meisingerödt and onwards, first along a field and meadow path, then uphill along a forest path to the...

8.9 km  Hüllstein, an approx. 6 m long granite stone on two rock bases with a cave underneath. (Pagan ancestors presumably used it as a sacrificial table.) Here the path forks into a longer and a shorter variant. Choose the shorter one, then cross the road and walk parallel to it for a short distance on a dirt track to Stratberg. At the end of the village, cross the road again. You now walk uphill through the next section of forest. Perhaps already a little tired, walk towards the last ascent in the village of Schröck and come to the...

11.4 km  Devil's Seat, which is hidden in light bushes right next to the hiking trail (30 m). The devil is said to have once sat here and frightened churchgoers with his noises. Hence the name of the nearby village of Schröck. Now you hike through the last section of forest and the rest of the way is downhill on an asphalt road
