Around 26 stations with the most beautiful vantage points in the Garstnertal show how the landscape of the Pyhrn-Eisenwurzen in all its diversity was created geologically in 250 million years. You also hike a part of the historic Proviantweg, on which for centuries food and iron have been transported over the Hengstpass and discover the tracks of the old iron road. The journey into the past begins at the station in Windischgarsten and leads first to the center, past the marketplace and the road fork left direction Rosenau am Hengstpaß. After about 200 meters, turn right to the outdoor swimming pool and right past the outdoor pool to the Geological Nature Trail in the Nature Park. The Geological Trail shows you the representation of the rocks that form our soil and build up the mountains around Windischgarsten. At the other end of the nature park the path continues on the gravel banks of the Dambach and you can discover the stone witnesses of the earth's history. When you reach the sawmill Pistlmühle, the path leads straight through and you go slightly left and then right to the inn Schaffelmühle, there is again a summary board. Now follow the pavement, then the path swings between the road and the stream. After a rest area with Marterl you have to go a little way to the street because of the Uferverbauung (Attention - on nice weather days, the traffic volume can be very large!). Soon you reach the car park Haselreith, Walk along the brook through the Fraitgraben to the first fork. Here you leave the Fraitgraben on the right in the direction of Windischgarsten and have a great view of the Garstner valley. At the second intersection, turn left and follow the signs for Windischgarsten and return directly to the market square in Windischgarsten. The Million Way is a varied circular walk with only two gradients. It is also suitable for families - please note that about 450m lead along the Hengstpass-Landesstraße, which is heavily used on fair weather days!
