Rund um die Burg Marquartstein (vom Wanderparkplatz Freiweidach)

We start the hike in the Freiweidach district and head towards the Hochgern car park. It is a beautiful path that takes us along the edge of a meadow area on an almost flat stretch for about a kilometer towards Maquartstein. At the next signpost we turn left towards the Burgberg circular path. This is the place where we will return after the return journey. We now walk up a forest path through a sparse forest, slightly uphill. The next sign leads us to the right and further along the circular path, we soon come across houses and can see the castle in front of us. We can take the path leading up to the right past the church and castle entrance and then come back to Burgstrasse or alternatively continue straight on to Burgstrasse. We go downhill on Burgstrasse and turn right at the next sign. This is also the turnoff to the Salzalpensteig and the Salzalpentour. We walk between houses, past meadows, follow the flat path at the edge of the forest into the deciduous forest and then continue along the rock face. The castle towers high above the wall. We soon reach the junction that we already know and from where we go straight on to get back to the starting point.
