Druidenweg - Peilsteinblick, Nr. 31a

The starting point is the Peilsteinblick inn in Stangles. The path leads past the Liedlmühle farm to the Perndlschmiede (waterwheel) in Pisching. At the church, we cross the street and hike steeply uphill to the Kaltenberg cross (not the highest point but the view is worth seeing). Over the ridge you first go slightly downhill and then uphill again to the "Böndel" (a hilltop) and further to the "Sphinx", which seems to watch over the region. Following the 31a marker, you reach the "Sitting Dog", the "Standing Bowl", as well as the "Outer and Inner Stone Circle" (Druid meeting point). Hiking gently downhill, you reach the "Large Bowl" and the impressive "Living Cave". The descent takes place via the forest road to Siebendürfting back to the Peilsteinblick inn.

Make sure when choosing the route that it matches your fitness level. Check if the restaurants you want to visit along the way are open. Pack your mobile phone and map material in your backpack.

Sturdy footwear, functional clothing, sun and rain protection, map material, if necessary telescopic poles, first aid kit (blister plasters), sufficient provisions (snacks, muesli bars, fruit, water)
