- We start this hike in the castle park.

- We follow the course of the water channel (Brühlbach) into the Pöllauer Naherholungsparadies Hinterbrühl with the NaturKRAFTpark.
- Shortly after the barbecue area, we reach the natural swimming pond with biotope and beach volleyball court at Hotel Restaurant Gruber.
- Return along the same route to the Almbauer bakery/Ortenhofenstraße.
- As an alternative to Ortenhofenstraße, we now follow the signs - a few meters north of the mill - to the outdoor pool, and then walk through the adjacent Aupark with the pond and a large children's playground back to the starting point in the castle park.
