  • We start at the village square and turn right at the Pestsäule, after the Hotel Fast, and follow the markings (also trail no. 7 and Kraftpfad) to the "Tarbauer", then left past a "Waldhäuschen", a short steep section and we can really relax and recharge our batteries while "forest bathing"
  • Recovered, we reach the sea buckthorn fields via a wonderful field path
  • After the "Atelier Kroisleitner", we cross the road and come to another short section of forest (or turn left along the road and immediately take the next right)
  • Now we follow the asphalt road, past a few farms (path no. 7 and Kraftpfad branches off to the right at "Hans im Winkl", we continue straight ahead), until we leave the road on the right after the house Auer "Hansl im Graben"
  • A forest path/woodland trail continues to the "Antoni Taferl" - immediately afterwards we take the left-hand bend - until shortly before the "Reitbauer" (Kleinland). Now we walk along meadow and forest paths through the "Kleinwald" and "Auf der Halt"
  • Continue - towards the village - past the "Schwingesbauer", "Poschn" to the "Poschn Brücke" bridge
  • Now turn right again up into the forest to the "Bratlam"
  • The wood-fired roast, which of course we don't miss - but let it melt in our mouths, is well deserved
  • After refreshments (including a schnapps from Edenbauer), we cover the last few meters of the hike and arrive at our destination, back at the village square
We recommend a visit to the sea buckthorn gardens and a wood-fired roast at the Bratlalm!
Timetables and travel information can be found at Österreichische Bundesbahnen (ÖBB) or at Verkehrsauskunft Verbundlinie. For local transportation we recommend the SAM-Sammeltaxi Oststeiermark.
