Description

At the Staffen parking lot northwards the Naringbergstraße starts. Follow this road for about half an hour until a broad forest road branches off to the right on Hinhagalm. There, walk on, right over mountain pastures up to the weather vane. From here follow the harmless grassy ridge on climbing tracks westwards to the Wetterkreuz. In the same direction - pay close attention to the markings - you walk first flat, then with a short climb, before it goes on the south side of Rudersburg about 100 m over a meadow and through a forest to a small ditch and a boggy passage. Descend at the junction towards Naringalm, back to the starting point.
