The picturesque village of Gundelsdorf in Germany offers a scenic hiking trail that begins and ends at the Parish Church of Holy Cross. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you navigate this beautiful trail.

Start your journey at the Parish Church of Holy Cross in Gundelsdorf. From there, take a turn to the left and follow the path until you reach Schönleiter Straße. After passing the old school, built in 1858, the significant landmark of your hike, you'll find yourself on Schönleiter Straße.

Next, take a turn to the right onto Schönleiter Straße. A short distance ahead, you'll find a field path leading north, gently ascending towards the edge of the "Postei" forest. This forest forms a significant part of your hike, leading you through its lush greenery for an unspecified distance.

As you continue your journey, you'll eventually exit the forest and reach a field path that does not have a footpath for the rest of the way to the Maria-Hilf Chapel. Caution should be exercised during this stretch.

The Maria-Hilf Chapel is located near the intersection of Bgm.-Moertl-Straße and Schönleiter Straße. It's important to note that the chapel is not passed until after the state road 2035.

After visiting the Maria-Hilf Chapel, you'll retrace your steps back to Schönleiter Straße, where you'll find a field path leading north from the chapel. This path does not have a footpath for the rest of the way, so caution should be exercised.

The hike does not repeat any earlier turns made onto Schönleiter Straße. Instead, it leads you back to the Parish Church of Holy Cross, where your journey began, completing the circle of this beautiful hiking trail in Gundelsdorf.

Unfortunately, the designer of the hiking trail starting from the Pfarrkirche Heilig Kreuz in Gundelsdorf remains unknown. However, the trail's natural beauty and historic landmarks make it a must-do for any avid hiker visiting the area.
