We start our approximately 7 km long hike from Mühldorf, which forms the western gate to the Spitzer Graben and at the same time the gateway to the Wachau and the Waldviertel. We hike over the Kalvarienberg of Unterranna with its beautifully renovated image stations, the crucifixion chapel, and the burial chapel. Soon we pass the imposing Oberranna Castle (private property). Our path then leads through extensive forests (Fohraberg and Wolfsberg) and along the idyllic Bengelbach. Other highlights are the lovely church of Niederranna and the magnificent Prandhof Castle. Back at Marktstraße in Mühldorf, we find the first Austrian Raiffeisenbank and the bakery museum awaiting us.
