Today's stage is a leisurely conclusion to the Hochschwab crossing. We first hike from the
Schiestlhaus across the plateau down to a prominent crossroads in the upper Dullwitz.
This high valley is a remnant of the glacial activity during the last great ice age and leads us, following it out of the valley, to the cozy Voisthalerhütte.
Here we should definitely plan a rest and enjoy the magnificent rock landscape of Edelspitzen and Karlmauer on the hut terrace - a fantastic climbing area.
Immediately after the hut, the trail descends more steeply through the Voisthaler Gassl and then briefly uphill again to the Franzosenkreuz.
This cross was erected in memory of the local people who once sought protection here from Napoleon's troops.
Once again, the descent is somewhat steeper, past the unmanaged Florlhütte, to the Lettanger, the valley floor near Seewiesen.
Following a wide forest path we reach the "Styrian Heiligenblut", as Seewiesen is also called, after about 30 minutes on foot. Here or on the neighboring Seebergalm (from Seewiesen another 45 minutes walk) we spend the night.
