More information

From Vienna: via the A2, exit Pinggau - Friedberg, Rohrbach an der Lafnitz, Mönichwald, Waldbach, Wenigzell.

From Graz: via the A2, exit Gleisdorf, Kaindorf, Pöllau bei Hartberg, Schloffereck, direction Vorau, left after the Kreuzwirt to Wenigzell.

We start at the village square and head down to the local history museum. Up to the "Brunnschneider" and on to "In Reith" and the "Stockbauer". There we leave the asphalt road and hike up along beautiful forest paths to the Kreuzwirt. Now we follow the Roman road and branch off to the left. We follow beautiful hiking trails to the Wildwiese at 1256 metres. At the lookout tower we enjoy the wonderful view and, in the best conditions, we can even see as far as Hungary. After a little refreshment in the Wildwiesenhütte (which we have really earned), we continue our hike. Down to the "Toten Mann", through the "Walddörfl" and we are already back at the Brunnschneider, where we have a wonderful view of Wenigzell. Past the local history museum we reach the village square again.
