Circular hiking route from Kirchberg to the Pass Chapel

<p>We choose the start of this route either in the town center of Kirchberg or directly at the Molzbachhof in Tratten. We start uphill towards Sachsenbrunn, then turn right onto a path that leads us to Wieden. From there, a detour is currently in place due to forest works. Follow the signs to the right towards St. Corona, then past the church to the right along the main road and immediately left again following the signs to Unternberg. There we meet the path to the Pass Chapel again. (The "Aussen" street leads us straight onto a hiking trail, which we follow straight at the fork along the middle path.) We continue along the path until the paved road and turn left before the village of Unterberg to reach Feistritz am Wechsel street. We follow this, past a farmstead to the Pass Chapel. Here we turn left onto the path and continue until Allahof. There we again get onto a hiking trail which we follow straight without turning. In Geieregg we reach the paved "Aussen" street again, which we follow through Sellhof, Hammerhof, and Am Stein until Kirchberg am Wechsel. To return directly to the Molzbachhof in Tratten, turn left after Am Stein.</p>
