Elsbeerweg Laaben

Despite the most careful research, unforeseen short-, medium-, or even long-term closures (e.g., due to forestry restrictions by landowners) may occur on the routes. Recommended parking options may sometimes be private or subject to fees – please pay attention to local signage. Some paths may partly or entirely lead through fee-paying enterprises/areas (e.g., nature parks or gorges). This is usually explicitly noted in the description. All information is without guarantee and use of the paths is at your own risk. Any path closures and notices from hunters and landowners must be observed.

Sturdy footwear, water, rain protection

We start our route at the Laaben municipal office heading west, cross the Laabenbach, and then turn right onto the second street. For about 300 m we use the Laaben valley cycle path. Afterwards, we go up to the left over a forest and meadow path to the settlement Pirat. In the middle of the forest, we reach the long-distance hiking trail 04 and follow it until shortly past a farm. On an asphalted farm road, we come back down to the state road, where we turn right towards Brand. In Brand, we turn onto Kirchenweg opposite the church and follow it. Past the tennis court and the chapel of St. Florian (a nice rest spot), a pleasant, shaded path beside the stream leads us back into the village.
