Panorama round tour Kleinlobming

From the center in Kleinlobming (1), 759 m, we walk a short distance into the valley and see the signpost in the direction of Sonnberg. We turn left and follow the asphalt road uphill for about 1.5 km. At the crossroads we keep to the right and after a short time we come to the farm vlg. Kahlbauer (2), 915 m, where we continue to the left between the garage and the house. The red-white-red trail marking shows us the entrance to the hiking trail, where we now continue along a hollow path somewhat steeper uphill. At an altitude of about 1150 m we come out of the forest and have a wonderful panoramic view. Here we can already see our next destinations, the Stoana hut and the farm vlg. Kalchbauer, on the opposite side of the slope. Here at the barbed wire fence is a passage. Now we continue to the right of the fence, immediately come to a barrier and follow the forest road until we see the entrance to the hiking trail on the right. Continuing comfortably uphill along the well-marked hiking trail, we pass a small hut and then turn right again onto the hiking trail. A bit through the forest and we reach a meadow or a gravel road, which we now follow almost level. At the crossroads Steinplan (3), 1280 m, is also our highest point, as we now continue downhill to the left. We follow the forest road downhill, which ends directly at the Stoana hut and the farm vlg. Kalchbauer farm (4), 1150 m. We continue downhill for about 2 km on a wide gravel access road until we turn left onto an access road. Now we continue comfortably on forest roads, past the farmstead vlg. Schachner, until we reach the - already known to us - crossroads above the farm vlg. Kahlbauer (2), 915 m, we reach. The descent across the populated area of the sunny side of Kleinlobming follows the ascent route.
