St. Agatha: It must be - Trail

From the church square, we walk along the main street and turn right into Schulweg. Past the secondary school, the route continues on a field path. We keep heading north and reach Etzing, where there is also a Donausteig rest area. After Etzing, we turn right and walk down towards the Danube. At the last farm, we leave the road and first go over a field path, then through the forest down to Schlögen. Passing the Hotel Donauschlinge, we walk up to the Schlögener Viewpoint and then follow the Ciconia Path for a short stretch. Up to Haibach, we follow the Donausteig route. In the Danube slopes, we turn towards Wiesing and cross the Nibelungen federal road after a descent. On the other side, we ascend past a ski slope again. We follow the hiking trail but do not go to the Stauff ruin, instead turning right before it. At Dunzing, we leave the forest and then walk again through the cultural landscape. We pass the Fadinger monument and two inns before returning to St. Agatha.
