The starting point of the route is the parking lot at the mountain station of the ski lift at the Jauerling. The path first leads to the viewing tower. This is open daily from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm from April to around All Saints' Day, in winter only on weekends and holidays from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm, and by appointment. After the viewing tower, we cross the Turnerwiese and then turn right onto the forest road which leads us along the Ahornallee (without maples!) to the parking lot of the Naturparkhaus. After this walk through the forest, it first goes right over a clearing and then through the forest on a quiet hiking trail until after about 10 minutes we reach the Naturparkhaus Gasthaus at the Jauerling. The inn is open during the summer season - May 1 to October 31 - Thursday to Tuesday & holidays: from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, excluding evening reservations. Wednesday is a day off. During the winter season - November 1 to April 30 - the inn is open Thursday to Sunday & holidays from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, excluding evening reservations. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are days off. We enjoy the beautiful view from the Wachau terrace of the Naturparkhaus. Afterwards, it continues on the path which leads back to the parking lot, and then along the Ahornallee back to the viewing tower and the mountain station parking lot. There are always rest opportunities along the path.
