- Route description From Dürrwien Station we follow Friedhofstraße to the main street. There we turn right (W), then into the first alley on the left (S). We follow the path to the highway bridge and pass the wildlife fence (Pressbaum circular hiking trail), until we reach a white-blue-white marked hiking trail straight ahead. We follow it to a marked power pole crossing the path, which leads us left into the forest. At the end we reach a crossroads that leads us right to Pfalzberg. At Pfalzberg we follow the white-red-white marked hiking trail (route 2) to the right and follow the signposts towards Kaiserbründl. We encounter the white-yellow-white marked hiking trail and follow it to an asphalt road (Ober Kniewald). Here we follow left (SW) the red-white-red marked hiking trail, which leads us over Ober Kniewald Street – it continues on the other side of the street towards Jochgrabenberg. We reach hiking trail 04 (red-white-red) and follow it towards Rekawinkel-Troppberg to a crossroads where we turn right on a signpost towards Eichgraben/Rekawinkel (white-red-white). We follow it downhill to after the highway underpass. There we choose the right path and immediately after the left path. On the meadow we go northeast until we reach the first houses. Now we follow the yellow-green, white-red-white marked path towards Rekawinkel and finally the main street to the right towards the station.
