We start at the information board Stadtwanderweg 1a (Bloschgasse) heading southwest towards Geigeringasse, then continue right over St. Georg-Platz up the Waldbachsteig (green) until we reach an asphalt path, where we turn left towards Kahlenberg (Stadtwanderweg 1a). We reach Kahlenberger Straße and follow it until we turn right onto the forest path (red) and first follow it downhill to the left, then after some curves uphill to the right (yellow). At a clearing, we come to a T-junction and turn left towards Jägerwiese. Then we follow the signposts to Kreuzeiche (yellow) and from there continue to Jägerwiese (blue). Upon arrival at the “Gasthaus zum Agnesbrünnl”, we hike along the animal enclosure to Hermannskogel (red). At the T-junction we turn left and first reach Habsburgwarte, then Jägerwiese (right, yellow). Back at the inn, we follow the signposts right towards Kahlenberg (red). Along the main path, we arrive at a clearing (left, blue). Keeping right, we pass Sulzwiese to Höhenstraße (green). Now we keep left until after the bridge we turn left into the forest. We follow the blue markings past a traffic island and then left onto a forest road towards Leopoldsberg. Upon reaching a parking lot, we follow the red marking over Leopoldsberg to Nasenweg, over which we reach our starting point.
