Marking white/green/white

Starting point at the chapel, through Quellengasse to the reservoir of the Ursula spring, right into the forest, steep uphill to Rotte Bernreith, continue to Kienegg (shortcut: turn left to "Kaltenberger Weg") to Kaltenberg with Pilgrimage Church Maria Schnee and Gasthaus Neumüller.
