From the town hall, we head left through the castle gate, under the motorway bridge, past the public swimming pool, and into the Möstlinggraben. We take the turnoffs toward "Seppbauer", "Magdbauer", and "Schwaiger", continuing on to the "Zeller" farm. From there, we descend along the former Zeller toboggan run into the Kindtalgraben, passing the "Sagbauer" to reach the Gasthaus Ochensberger.
We continue downward through the Kindtalgraben to the junction for "Gugler/Lärcherbauer", then ascend again to the Lärcherbauer. The trail then leads through the Schwaiggraben and Salzackergasse to the Protestant church, after which we turn right and follow the main road back to the town hall.
Homemade smoked meats and locally crafted schnapps await adults at the Zeller mountain farm, while children can admire cows, calves, and chickens on the farm.
At the Gasthaus Ochensberger, with a bit of luck, you may spot red deer, and you can enjoy the rich culinary offerings.
Free parking is available near the Kindberg West and East motorway exits.
