However, turn left and then immediately right along the meadow path uphill to the village of Berging. Pass the farmhouse on the left and walk towards the Bühel (small wood) in front of you.

2.0 km Hochwaldblick. The effort of the climb is now rewarded by the magnificent view over the Mühltal ridge to the Bohemian Forest and the ruins of Wittinghausen in the former Sudetenland. Hans Mühlbauer, born in Oberpeilstein, tells us: In the period between 1945 and 1955, the inhabitants on the Czech side were resettled from the border strip. People had to move away, the villages were razed to the ground. We were able to follow this from here." One house after another was burnt down. For a long time, there was still a large farm in Deutsch-Reichenau until it too fell victim to the flames. You reached the ridge immediately afterwards. Now the terrain slopes gently downhill again and you reach the few farmsteads of ...
2.4 km Eschernhof. The Falkensteinerweg trail leaves us here. Turn left onto the tarmac road. Walk only briefly on this little-used road and don't miss the turn-off to the right into the forest. The path loops downhill and you come to the Stoanaweg. After 800 metres, you separate from the Stoanaweg and the path of deceleration (a 5-minute detour to the nearby Kühstein is worthwhile because of the magnificent view). You continue parallel to the Brezerjausenweg, which accompanies you to Rutzersdorf. The Hochwaldweg leads past below the Kühstein. At the farm you join the access road. Now you need to pay close attention to the markings so that you don't miss the path across the meadow to the forest. You cross the forest section steeply downhill. At the end of the forest, you are offered a beautiful view over the hilly landscape of the Mühlviertel. Walk past the farmstead in front of you and down into the valley, where you cross the Hennerbach stream at the pond. This beautiful section of the trail takes you slightly uphill to the idyllic village of ...

Despite the 1 km long tarmac path that follows, you will be rewarded with wonderful views of the Kleine Mühltal. Pay attention to the markings, because before you reach Vordorf, the forest path leads uphill to the left, where you will find a bench with a beautiful view at the edge of the forest.
