Day 3:Alpengasthof Pinzgerhof - Höhenweg - Alpbach --> approx. a. 3 - 4 hous After a hearty breakfast at the Alpengasthof Pinzgerhof, hike through dense forest along the Silberbach trail and then along the Alpbachtaler Höhenweg towards Alpbach. This stage has only a few metres of altitude difference and is therefore perfect as a conclusion.
Directions
Alpengasthof Pinzgerhof - walk along the R24 path back to the forestry road - turn right and walk through the woods crossing the Silberberg stream up to the "Ramsberg" farms - after the farms bear left - hike along the R20 to the "Alpbachtaler Höhenweg" towards Alpbach - on reaching the tarmacked road walk into the valley to where the walk started. This stage of the 3-day hike covers minimal elevation gain and is therefore ideal for the last day. Tip: before you go back to Alpbach, take a short detour down to Reith i.A. village centre - it's worth it!

Safety guidelines
If your legs are already tired from the previous days, it is easier to stumble even on easy paths. Stay focused and allow yourself a few more breaks on this stage. For example, at the beautiful bathing lake in Reith i.A.
Author’s recommendation
Before returning to Alpbach, we recommend a detour to Reith i.A.village centre. From the Pinzgerhof, follow the road downhill initially on a tarmacked road, then through the forest.Hildegard Garden is an entirely different feel-good oasis in Reith i.A. In addition to being the source of herbalism, the garden is also a recreational haven with a barefoot path and massage trail. An attempt is made here to bring the ancient knowledge of the various medicinal plants closer again. Tip: guided tours in German are also offered here!
