Pöllauberg, Hotel Retter 
  • We start from the hotel, past the quince orchards towards Buschenschank Haubenwaller. The route is marked with a green sign with a red bar.
  • After the Buschenschank's tarmac pitches, we stay on the road and pass several farms and houses.
  • Then we leave the road and turn left downhill on the marked hiking trail towards Pöllau. Below the Goldsberghof farm, the hiking trail turns right across meadows into the forest to the Calvary. Here we follow the stations of the cross towards Pöllau.
  • When we reach the Pöllau bypass, we keep to the right on the pavement and walk along the main road to Erlacker-Straße.
  • There we turn right and follow this road to the end of the settlement.
  • We turn left as far as the main road and turn right again at the next entrance. Now we walk along the path to the left of the Safen and to the right of the settlement until we reach the junction with the bridge.
  • After crossing the bridge, we see the Fandler oil mill ahead of us.
  • We take the same route for the walk back.
