The village run variant 1 we start at the entrance of the spa house from there it goes along the spa park and past the old fire department. Here the path goes straight into the Krügeleistraße, up to the federal road. Crossing the main road, we soon reach the Gutmann Chapel. Via Mitterfeldweg we continue to Merkendorf (there is a department store here if you want to buy drinks or a snack).
Past the department store we cross the main road, now we have arrived at the sports center in Merkendorf. Here you have the possibility to shoot a bow, to play soccer or to shoot a stick. A field path leads us further to Waldsberg, where we can stop by at the vintner Wurzinger for a cellar tour (registration is requested). From Waldsberg, we walk in the direction of Kaargebirge and Trautmannsdorf. In Trautmannsdorf we pass the riding arena and walk almost to the center of the village. From there we run or walk on the direct way to Bad Gleichenberg, then further in the direction of Gleichenberg village and back to the center.
