    Description

    Your circular route begins at the church in Ginzling. From the Parish Church "Maria Himmelfahrt" and the adjacent cemetery, head further into the valley, passing the multi-purpose building on your right. Continue straight ahead, and you'll come across an old hunting lodge. Next to it is the so-called "Heimkehrer" Chapel. Cross the wooden bridge to the "Schragl" farm and then proceed out of the valley, passing the village square where you will find an information board. Your circular route continues out of the valley over the suspension bridge near the Gasthaus Schwarzenstein. Proceed through the Ofenach recreational area, a forest on the outskirts of the village with a playground and benches. From here, you will reach the old school and the exhibition building, bringing you back to your starting point.
