A nice little hike, easy to do even with children or dogs. Enough parking space at Seebenstein train station, well signposted up to the Turkish fall The trip to Krumbach to the Eis Greisslerei was the reward. Big playground for the kids.

We started relatively early from the parking lot on the main road to avoid the heat. We wanted to take the Müllersteig to the Türkensturz ruins, which are closed off because of the danger of collapse. So it was back towards the castle: overall a short and pleasant hike.
