Pöllau circuit via Gschaider Kögerl, Pöllau

• We start this circular walk in the castle park at the signposts to the east of the Parkcafe.
• The signpost "Richtung Gschaid" leads us north along Ortenhofenstraße to a wayside shrine and the blue house of the Almbauermühle, where we follow the yellow/blue markings and the "Naturpark-Erlebnisrundweg" to the Hotel Restaurant Gruber.
• At the bridge by the hotel, we head in a north-westerly direction and follow the white-blue-white and white-yellow-white markings with the numbers 2 and 3.
• At the fork in the path at the farm "Almer" vulgo Toni on the Wiesn, we now choose marking no. 2.
• After the Grottenstüberl, the trail initially leads along the country road, then turns left into the forest and leads us to the junction in the direction of GH Derler, where we keep right and reach the Gschaid saddle (SAM stop: HF 5996).

Gschaid - GH Derler - Inseltown Heschl - Pöllau

• From the Gschaid saddle, our hike continues on the other side of the road in the direction of Pöllau, following the red-white-red no. 921 markings until the junction, where the white-blue-white no. 2 markings appear, which we follow to the left in the direction of GH Derler (SAM stop HF 5974).
• We stay on this trail until we reach the property of the Almer family, vulgo Toni auf der Wiesen.
• Here we change to hiking trail no. 3 with the white-yellow-white color and pass the former GH Hörting.
• Shortly after the Gasthaus/Inseltown Heschl, we come to a fork in this hiking trail, where we meet the "Roseggerweg" with the number 5.
• This leads us back to Pöllau to our starting point (SAM bus stop "Pöllau, Zwinger": HF 5943).
