Hiking tour Starting from Laaben Hauptplatz Laaben 100 3053 Laaben
Enjoyment. This short hike is entirely dedicated to easy hiking enjoyment and condenses many elements into a small space. We pass through a wonderful beech forest, see the typical orchards, come to views to the north-east and south-east and stroll along a stream. The hike is ideal for families and senior citizens, but also as an appetizer or digestif to the excellent and wide-ranging Laabner cuisine.

The hike is ideal for families and senior citizens, but also as an appetizer or digestif to the excellent and wide-ranging Laabner cuisine.
Even walking through a small village center settlement with partly bourgeois houses and villas from the turn of the century is a pleasure. After a short, leisurely ascent, a lovely forest edge reveals a wonderful view to the north-east over the lower Laabental valley. The following, leisurely path through a beautiful beech forest allows us to take a deep breath, listen up and take in the scent of the forest. From the forest, a view opens up to the south-east towards the Schöpfl, we look down on the village center of Laaben and its surrounding hilly landscape, characterized by orchards, forest and pasture. On the short 'descent' across a gently sloping meadow with many old fruit trees, we are right in the middle of this extremely attractive landscape. In the final section, we accompany the Pyrathgrabenbach stream for a short stretch on its last few meters into the Laabenbach stream.
The short yet varied nature of the hike makes it particularly suitable for families and as an extended, enjoyable walk. With fine cuisine (GH Linde, Hotel zur Post, Laabnerhof) and excellent home cooking (GH Schilling, approx. 600 m from the main square), hikers with an interest in culinary delights are also well catered for.
Normal hiking equipment
From the main square in front of the town hall, we cross the intersection and head towards Brand. After about 100 meters, we turn right into a narrow residential street following the Laabental bike path (No. 41); after the last house in the nicely situated settlement, we go left uphill, the paved road up to the Kleinhinterholz property. Immediately before the farmstead, a meadow path marked as Trail 1 leads us up to the forest edge. Here, in an idyllic viewpoint location, benches await us to rest and enjoy. Well guided by the marking "Trail 1" or a "1" on tree trunks, we walk leisurely through a well-kept beech forest. Once out of the forest again, a charming hillside meadow with strong pear and apple trees lies before us - behind it, we see the eastern town center of Laaben. At first along the forest edge, then a meadow path soon lined by a pear tree avenue leads down to the main road. We cross this straight ahead and go down to the Pyrathgraben brook; following the stream downstream, we come over a pedestrian bridge to Hotel zur Post and the main street. After about 150 meters on the left, we are back at the starting point.
