NW-8 Rantenbachrunde

Beautiful tour to Rantenbach and back to Krakaudorf.
From the municipal office, head east (towards the end of the village). At the fork in the road (village museum), keep right. Follow the road southwest (right) until you reach a fork in the road with a bench. Turn right and follow the gently sloping path, which mainly leads across meadows, towards Rantenbach. Follow the gravel road uphill (right) to the Maut mill. From the mill, walk about 300 m toward the valley and turn right over a bridge with a gate over the Rantenbach. Turn left upstream, opposite the dam area, and walk slightly uphill on a path until you reach a road. Follow the slightly uphill road, which leads out of the Rantengraben in several switchbacks. Head northeast across a meadow, past a hay barn, until you reach another road. Follow the slightly ascending road to the southern edge of Krakaudorf and follow the NW markings back to the starting point.
