L1 Grillenparz Trail - Schlierbach

Description:
Round trip with 9,7km and 442Hm from Schlierbacher side to the Grillenparz

Directions:
The tour starts from Schlierbach train station. At the beginning right under the railroad through and immediately right again past the company Altholz, running on the bike path, to the next underpass. Here right down through and after ca.200m left to the Schlierbacher Landesstraße. Cross the road in the direction of the sports field and follow it until you reach Schlierbach Abbey in the center of town. To the left along the monastery building the tour runs along the hiking trail K80 through the cheese dairy, on a narrow path directly through the monastery grounds, through to the next crossroads. Up to the left, past the Calvary Chapel to the next street.

Continuing to the right, the tour follows the RW Grillenparz along a hollow path through the forest to the highest point of the tour, the Grillenparz with its striking single tree and a 360 degree view. This path is marked throughout. Way 24 leads down in the direction of Kirchdorf to the next forest road. The tour follows this road back towards Schlierbach. After about 1.5 km, the trail leads along the signposted Fitness Steig to the left down to the adventure playground. Continue left along the road and turn right at the next intersection to the chapel on Klosterstraße. Left down and immediately right again follows the tour via Bahnhofstraße back to Schlierbach train station.

Equipment:
The required equipment always depends on the particular tour and the weather conditions. Regarding the food: This is very individual and it is recommended to have rather too much than too little with equipment and food. For a 5km round in the valley you need less than for a demanding tour in the mountains. The weather can change quickly and if you are not constantly on the move or need to take a break, for example, warming clothing is of great importance.
