Schoberkogelweg, Birkfeld

• We start the hike at the former Birkfeld train station parking lot and walk along the sidewalk past the petrol station up the “Dechantleitenweg” towards the center of Birkfeld
• From the lower main square straight ahead to the upper main square, past the Marian column up towards Bergasse
• At the water hydrant, go straight on into the forest and then come to the Esser cross
• Cross the Pireggerstrasse and follow the Alte Gasenerstrasse
• Past the Laglbauer farm and the Jagaleitner farm through the forest
• After a few kilometers we come to the Breitenauer Landesstrasse, on our right is the refreshment stop Gh. Baumgartmühle
• At this road we go left over the bridge and after about 50m we turn right, past the houses
• From now on it's uphill again, after the farm “Hansl in der Leitn” we hike up through the forest and come to the farm “Schoberbauer” and so it is not far to the Schoberkogel
• Once we reach the Schoberkogl, we are rewarded with a beautiful view and you can see 7 church towers
• After the rest on the Schoberkogel, we walk a short distance along the path from where we came, but then keep to the right and hike around the Schoberkogel and come back at a high seat where the tour ends and take the same path back to the starting point at Birkfeld station
