The Obersdorf circular trail (Geo Trail) begins in Bad Mitterndorf at Haus Trinkl at the western entrance to Bad Mitterndorf. From the district Rödschitz Reith the circular trail is identical with the forest trail no. 17 from Bad Mitterndorf to Obersdorf. Going through Obersdorf, you go around the Kumitzberg (pilgrimage church Maria Kumitz), follow the path further through the underpass at the federal road, and then go along the Obersdorfer Moos to the estate "Pleam".
