Anyone who hikes through the surroundings of Falzes with their eyes open will be confronted again and again with the material of stone, and specifically in its most varied of forms
Through a gate you reach the theme trail "Steine erzählen" (The rocks tell a tale). It goes through fields and meadows, past copses of hazel, dog rose, elder, bird cherry and blackthorn, past old dry stone walls overgrown with moss and lichen, as well as a very carefully layered wall, with beautiful seats in the inserted niches, and at the end it leads back through the same gate to the starting point.

Directions
From the school follow the trail "Panoramasteig" to the farm "Tiefentaler", then walk uphill to the bend in the road and into the forest. Cross the mountainside almost flat to the small vitive chapel "Bachstöckl" (St. Margareth). Climb up to the farmsteads "Lechner Höfe" and continue to the Kofler Road, which you follow downhill for about 200 metres. Then take trail no. 18 to Greinwalden Road, which you follow for a short distance in a westerly direction (trail no. 17A), before turning left to the St. Valentin church and continuing to the main road. Walk westwards for about 100 m on the path next to the road, then cross it and follow the forest path (marked E10) to the sports area. From here, take the Landart path (marked 5 or 5A) to the lake "Issinger Weiher" and continue to the main road. The tour now leads up to the hamlet "Mühlen" (path 1), where you cross the street. Take Schloss Schöneck Road and later Hasenried Road (path 7) to reach the church of the hamlet "Hasenried". The "Pfaffensteig" trail branches off here and takes you back to the starting point.
