It is located on the natural landscape belt "The European Green Belt" - which connects 24 countries over a length of 8,500 kilometres. Allow yourself about 2 hours and follow in the footsteps of the potters of the past and experience the work of a potter during the course of the pottery year at the 7 illustrative stations. You can barbecue, paint and make pottery along the way. The pottery trail runs on flat terrain and is therefore particularly popular with families with children. The trail starts at the market square and after approx. 100 metres leads along the Maltsch river in the Natura 2000 European nature reserve. After a while, you reach the pottery site at the clay pit in Gerichtsholz. Continue to the Hafnerhaus. There you will find a museum where pottery courses are also offered. From the Hafnerhaus you are back at the starting point on the market square in just a few minutes [ Tour and route information ](#ttgCollapseTourdetails) --------------------------------------------------------- **Starting place:** 4262 Leopoldschlag **Destination:** 4262 Leopoldschlag **duration:** 1h 13m **length:** 5,1 km **Altitude difference (uphill):** 8m **Altitude difference (downhill):** 9m **Lowest point:** 617m **Highest point:** 633m **difficulty:** easy **condition:** easy **panoramic view:** Great panorama **Paths covering:** Asphalt, Gravel, Hiking trail **Starting point:** Marketplace **Destination:** Marketplace **further information:** - Circular route - Board possible **Details - hiking**- themed path [ ![Altitude profile Töpferwanderweg](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430000235&width=355&height=250&FontSize=12&mkt=en) ![Altitude profile Töpferwanderweg](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430000235&width=450&height=350&mkt=en) ](#ttgHoehenprofilModal "Töpferwanderweg") [ Opening hours ](#ttgCollapseOeffnungszeiten) ------------------------------------------------ daily [ Variants and stages ](#ttgCollapseVariantenEtappen) ------------------------------------------------------- [ Pferdeeisenbahn Wanderweg - Etappe 1 ](https://www.hornerakusko.sk/en/oesterreich-tour/detail/430007896/pferdeeisenbahn-wanderweg-etappe-1.html) [ Arrival ](#ttgCollapseAnreise) ---------------------------------- **Accessibility / arrival**by car: from Linz: via the A7 motorway to Unterweitersdorf, continue on the S10 towards Freistadt, exit Freistadt Nord, continue on the B310 to Leopoldschlag by train: from Linz: Summerauerbahn to Summerau station --> 10 km to Leopoldschlag [ Suitability ](#ttgCollapseEignung) -------------------------------------- - Suitable for groups - Suitable for schools - Suitable for pushchairs - Suitable for teenagers - Suitable for seniors - Suitable for single travelers - Suitable for families - Suitable for friends - Suitable for couples - Suitable for children **Other special suitabilities** The entire hiking trail and the individual stations are completely barrier-free and wheelchair-accessible. **Most economical season**- Spring - Summer - Autumn - Early winter [ Accessibility ](#ttgCollapseBarrierefreiheit) ------------------------------------------------- Somewhat suitable for wheelchairs: Assistance is sometimes necessary.
