From Schwabentor (Swabian Gate), turn left over the striking wooden bridge to the foot of Schlossberg Hill. From here, the path winds its way up to the Kastaniengarten with a few noticeable climbs. The next level is reached at the playground, take another deep breath - then it's up to the finish level, where the Cannon Square is just a few steps away. From now on, it's time to shift down a gear, enjoy the fresh air and the magnificent view over Oberau, Wiehre and the old town. The route continues straight ahead along the edge of the forest on the Burghaldering, once around the Schlossberg Hill. There are plenty of other things to discover to the left and right of the path, but the flat route is mainly about exercise and encountering nature. Sieben Linden, St. Ottilien, Krottenweiher - at around the halfway point, a signpost demonstrates that the paths here lead to many promising destinations. Take a look and perhaps keep it in mind, but don't get distracted for the moment. Stay on the Burghaldering. After an extensive left-hand bend, this opens up a view of the north-east of the city. On the next section of the route, information boards explain a Caritas grazing project aimed at biodiversity and species conservation. The aim is to preserve the historic landscape and the habitat of native animal and plant species. Further along the path, a fountain offers spontaneous cooling and a break in the shade of the trees. The quiet idyll is followed by a return to a busier area. On the left, the panoramic terrace of the Schlossberggrestaurant Dattler is impressive and the mountain station of the Schlossbergbahn (funicular) is also located here. Continue straight back towards Cannon Square and Greiffenegg Schlössle, with a fantastic view of the cathedral, whose tower looks particularly magnificent from above.
