The circular tour takes you past two different water landscapes and connects them with the Fürstensteig - a beautiful forest trail between the Stainach district of Niederhofen and Wörschach. You hike along the Enns and the small Leistenbach stream, at the mouth of which the Natur.Kraft.Platz ‘Wasserplatz an der Enns’ awaits you. Along the Fürstensteig trail, you will also hike to the 4-elements nature.power.place and the rock-water nature.power.place. You will find information boards with exercise instructions at all of them.
