je nach Startpunkt bzw. Einstieg

The Stanzer Sonnenweg at the foot of the Fischbacher Alps offers three entry points. Starting from the first entry point at the fire station, we walk in the direction of the natural swimming pond, cross a bridge and then arrive at the natural idyll. We walk along the pond and reach the second entry point vis à vis the soccer field. There is also plenty of parking here. We follow the Sonnenweg, an easily walkable section, the so-called Sonnenallee II to the first Sonnenweg station, the Gasthof Almwirt. From now on, the path winds somewhat uphill to the forest. We now roam through a relatively steep section of forest until we reach a small hill. Again and again we pass various sun trail objects, which give us strength and motivate us to continue our march. We reach the next refreshment stop at the accessible Schauschmiede and the Rauchkuchl. Stanzer farmers' wives provide us from Friday to Sunday with Sterz, must, StreuObstSäften, pastries of the region and coffee. The hike continues in the direction of Sonnberg: we reach the Rodler farm, hike along a meadow with a wonderful view, through a forest, look over the entire Stanzertal valley again and again and arrive at the water-powered Schaumühle mill. Now the path goes a bit uphill and we reach the Sonnenallee I. Again we feel the power of the sun objects. A meadow path leads us to the Url chapel, which can be visited. Now we go downhill through a beautiful piece of forest until we reach the gothic Ulrich church and the Ulrich fountain. This energy place was already known to the Celts, so they say. At the church of St. Ulrich you will find the third entry point including a parking lot. Now we continue along the road to the Flora "K" art garden, also a sun trail station and two other places to stop, the Buschenschank Kalcher and the Wirthaus am Webergut. We cross the stream and continue hiking to the crosshairs near the forest chapel. The last section of the Sonnenweg is flat. Again we reach two sun trail stations, the Gasthof Oberer Gesslbauer and the Gasthaus Tischlerwirt, which invite you to stop for a bite to eat. Afterwards we visit the church of St. Catherine, situated on a hill, and reach our starting point.
