Along this circular hike there are no dangerous spots, without any problems all trail sections can be completed even for less experienced hikers.

Proper planning is a must before any tour.

Emergency call rescue: 144 Tip for reporting an emergency - give answers to the six W-questions: What happened? How many injured? Where did the accident happen (possibly GPS coordinates)? Who is reporting (callback number)? When did the accident happen? Weather at the accident site?

Sporty shoes are recommended for this round trip. Hiking equipment is not necessary.

In general: Proper backpacking makes many things easier:

Pack heavy things first. The water bottle (ideally: 1 liter or more) should always be handy. All things that are often needed such as sunglasses, camera, cell phone or hiking map belong on top.

An emergency kit including blister plaster belongs in every backpack and a clothing according to the "onion system" is always recommended! Never forget rain protection!

This city tour leads to almost all the sights of the mining city of Leoben. However, the tour can still be supplemented by a panoramic point, the viewing platform on the histroic Maßenberg.
