The first half of the path to the restaurant "Gerhardhof" is tarred, later it leads through a pine-forest past "Gerhardhof". Along the main road B 189 there was a parallel small road which we preferred to use. After crossing the B 189 the circle tour "sunlit plateau" started with mainly magnificent views onto chains of mountains.
After the chapel "Nothelfer" our path followed directly the B 189, but we crossed it and preferred to walk on mowed meadows instead, as there was no walking path along B 189. Presumably it would habe been better to take the path via the church "St. Georgen".
In the hotel "Schwarz" the contents of our family´s purse were considerably diminished, hard luck, though the service was friendly. The ice-cream was o.k., but the drinks were rather expensive.
Because of the many very sunny sections of this tour, the whole distance was a bit too long for Johanna. North of hotel "Schwarz" there was a lovely public children´s playground, not belong to hotel "Schwarz".
