Sebaldusweg stage 2 of 3 | Losenstein - Maria Neustift

From the village square of Losenstein (church), the path leads up to the Kirchenberg, then continues along hiking trail E74 to the Fatima Chapel and from there further towards Sauzahn. Before Sauzahn, at the old linden tree, turn left onto the Brettertal farm road descending to Laussa.

From the parish church in Laussa, walk to the Geiger inn, then follow a steep meadow path towards Sonnberg. At the Breitn Chapel, turn left and follow the Rotbauer farm road along the Flößerweg. After a longer uphill section past the Schneiderweg holiday farm, you reach the junction on the Sonnberg ridge. From here, follow the long-distance trail 04/06, pass the Laussa wind park, continue to Spadenberg, and arrive via Glasenberg — a detour to the summit is very worthwhile due to the view and panorama over the pre-Alpine peaks — to Maria Neustift.
