Itinerary

You start at the bus stop in Saltaus and follow the Riederbergstraße (no. 1) to the Schildhof Haupold.

After a short stretch, you turn onto a farm track that takes you to the Schildhof Granstein in Quellenhof.

Along the way, you’ll discover interesting insights about the chestnut groves, the forest, and the history surrounding Cardinal Haller and the Passeier court.
