Directions
The route starts at the Rankweil-Marktplatz bus stop and continues across Marktplatz (the market square) past the parish church of St. Peter to Gasthof Sternbräu. It then initially follows the little Nafla (stream) to the right, turns left at the tennis court and follows the signs for ‘Schafplatz’. Schafplatz is reached after a short, beautiful ascent. The forest path above Schafplatz winds its way to the right over the forest hilltop to the place where stairs (also part of the fitness course) lead down to the left. (Unfortunately there is no signposting for the hiking trail here.) The route then enters a forest road that it follows until a right turn presents the signposts at ‘Neslers Bühel’ for the Tilis path to Runggels to track along. It then takes a left at Quadrescha and descends to the Goldene Mühle. It continues along the cycle path to Tufers for a short distance but leaves it again as it takes a left towards Sunnahof. It’s recommended take a break at the Sunnahof. The route then makes a brief ascent up the Walgauweg to the Egeta plain and passes Valduna cemetery before - following the Walgauweg – it takes a right just before the regional hospital at Klosterbsetzi. Further along the Walgauweg at Kriasibühel, it takes a left before it reaches the front Gastraweg. It then takes a left down and an immediate right again to Pfarrschrofen and then down to the playing field in Gastra and back to Marktplatz.
