From the Nature Park Info Center in Scharnitz, the trail initially follows the Hinterautalstraße to the church in the village center. From there, it turns left and then immediately right onto the Hirlanda-Ellmann-Weg. This charming section is quiet and perfect for a relaxing stroll.

The path continues to the right and then quickly left before crossing a bridge. It then follows the gentle flow of the Gießenbach stream, mostly on a sunny trail surrounded by natural beauty. After crossing another bridge, the route turns left again and eventually reaches the Gießenbach district.

In Gießenbach, the Gasthof Ramona is located directly on the main road. After crossing the road, the trail continues left onto the Stuckweg. This peaceful path runs parallel to the railway line and leads back to Scharnitz, completing a delightful and scenic circular walk.
