The first section runs along the Eixendorf reservoir on a beautiful shoreline path, then along forest paths up to the Stone Wall on the Schwarzwihrberg. The path there is very exposed but well-secured.

September 20, 2025,Mehrtageswanderung 2025: "Steinerne Wand – Eixendorfer Stausee" (20.09.2025, Langstrecke)

The long-distance hikers' Saturday tour ran clockwise, first over the Steinerne Wand (Stone Wall) to the Schwarzenburg ruins, then descending the Goldsteig (Schützsteig) trail to Bauhof and continuing to the Schwarzach waterfall. The northern riverbank path, a dreamlike path, then returned to the starting point – not without crossing the riverbank for a break in Hillstett (Salzfriedl Museum Tavern).
