Most of the path goes along the river Ilz.Untouched nature along the Ilz.Don't let the rather bleak starting point put you off - only a few steps further the untouched nature starts.This way to paradise ;)The bridge leads you straight to the starting path.The idyllic Ilz loop.Further on along the river.Until you reach the clearing with its ponds.The ponds are perfectly integrated into the quaint Ilz landscape.Lawn for sun bathing by the lower Ilz swimming area.You hike against the backdrop of Hals Castle's impressive ruins.Don't let the Passage Prohibited sign scare you off - this is indeed where you need to go.The hike's only slight ascent.Back at Franz Stockbauer bridge.You can see the castle from afar. @ TouriSpo GmbH, Ben Ammer Hals Castle ruinsThe starting point is at Passau-Hals, which is easily accessible.Beautiful landscape along the Ilz in springtime.The drift barrier is the hub of Ilz loop.Passing the drift barrier is part of the hike.Take a rest and grab a bite at the inn.The idyllic path can be walked with regular trainers.
