Child-friendly hike partly along the banks of the stream, partly in the forest, past the medieval castle and back to the town of Oberwölz.
The trail leads across the recreation center and along the Wölzerbach stream to the main road, finally somewhat uphill through the forest, where the mossy ground and the many cones invite you to play and linger. It is also possible to make a detour to the "Sagenweg", whose markings you pass on the way back.
