The Heiligwasser circuit

A beautiful circuit that mostly sticks to trails and has one short but challenging uphill section.
 

The route starts at the former valley station of the Patscherkofel cable car in Igls/Bilgeristraße. Immediately head west along the gravel path to the slightly higher "Kurpark" park. At the crossroads with the "Girglweg", turn left and continue straight ahead on a steady, gentle ascent through the Serleswald forest (forest path) to the Römerstrasse. Cross the road and immediately turn right into the Speckbacherweg (forest path). Continue westwards until shortly before the Patsch district of "Gstill" you turn sharp left into the Johannesweg. Follow this path upwards for about 5 km until you reach the highest point of the trail, the Heiligwasser Alpine Inn (forest path). Continue straight on, crossing the "Viller Bach" stream, until you reach a 90° bend on the left and after approx. 400m another 90° bend back to the "Badhaussiedlung" (path/gravel path). Cross the Römerstraße and run past the Golf Cafe in a northerly direction back to the starting point, the "Alte Talstation" (forest path/asphalt).
