On this circular route, hike to the pond area and back through the wine village of Ockfen.
Walk past the trout ponds towards the town center. Cross the main road and walk uphill past the small Marian chapel. At the next junction, take the left path that continues through the fields. After about 150 m, take the next path to the left again and continue straight ahead. At the sports ground, continue straight ahead. Soon you will reach a small wooded area. Here the path goes slightly downhill and leads to the road from Ockfen to Irsch. Follow the road for a short distance, left towards Ockfen, but then turn right again and take the path through the meadows. At the intersecting cycle and footpath, follow the signs pointing to Ockfen and reach the pond area of the Ockfen Fishing and Sports Club. Behind the pond, go left and immediately reach the first houses of Ockfen. You can walk back through the village along the lightly trafficked main road to the starting point.
