Our DUR leads us from the Charterhouse Aggsbach to the Calvary Hill. After a steep ascent, we are rewarded with a beautiful view over Aggsbach-Dorf and can rest at the summit. From here, the path leads via Maierhöfen to Wolfenreith and further to the lime kiln in Heitzing. After visiting the lovingly renovated lime kiln, the route continues via the High Cross to Gerolding.
