Merkendorf round 2 (Merkendorf-Runde 2)

3 kilometers around Steinberg! Short, moderately difficult walking tour with a beautiful view of the Gleichenberger Kogel. A real feast for the eyes during an active activity for the experienced and motivated.
A short but promising walking or running route. Here you have a good opportunity to further train and prove your skills. The round is too short? Why not combine Merkendorf Round 1 with Round 2!

The Merkendorf-Runde 2 has its starting and end point at the bus stop at the height of Mitte Steinberg and presents you with a minor challenge right at the beginning - overcoming a longer, steeper climb up the Steinberg. You will be rewarded with a beautiful view of the Gleichenberger Kogel and a relaxing, further course. A short section of the route takes you downhill along the edge of a forest - it could be a bit slippery here after bad weather - please make sure you are sure-footed!

Only 3000 meters long, but with a steep climb, the route is optimal for the experienced and motivated. It is short, but especially at the beginning very intense and can be extended by coupling with the Merkendorf round 1 as you like.

Enjoy the wonderful view!
