Cross the river Steyr, pass the Johannishof farm and continue along the path to the most beautiful spot with picture post card view – the Schiederweiher Pond surrounded by the most prominent peaks of the Tote Gebirge mountain range (Great Priel, Spitzmauer…) Continue towards the Polsterlucke (the term „Lucke“ is generally used in this area to describe caves) until you reach a farmhouse (refreshment stop Polsterstüberl) situated in the centre of lush meadows and surrounded by mountain peaks. Follow the gravel road in a south-easterly direction, pass the Klinsergut farm with its game feeding points and turn to your left to get back to the Schiederweiher pond and the Johannishof farm.
