Moarhofhechtl-Runde, Passail
A short but idyllic loop out to the Moarhofhechtl and past the fishing ponds. The Moarhofhechtl circuit in Passail in the Almenland Nature Park is also a nice walk.
The path first leads along the Raab before the small climb leads up to the "Moarhofhechtl". Along meadows and fields it goes out to Auen. The return route then leads along the fish ponds back to the town center
An easy round and a nice walk, partly on dirt paths.
Many thanks to Ali Möstl for providing the track!
