Directions:

Anyone who loves the romance of old castles and ruins will enjoy this hike.

The hiking trail leads past Alpenbad to the wild romantic Grabenweg, at the beginning of which is the farm "Zu Steinern." Follow the K91 marking through the Graben up to Altpernstein Castle and enjoy the magnificent view over the Upper Kremstal from the castle terrace.

Above the castle, a path that is only initially somewhat steep leads to the Eustachius Cross, and the forest road takes you to the Marien Chapel and a unique panoramic view of the Sengsengebirge. Via the "Prälatenweg," you reach the Josefswarte, an ideal rest stop.

The narrow "Musikersteig" leads you back to town with its cozy places to stop for refreshments.
