We start at the village square, follow the markings and also follow the tracks of the Barbara-Sicharter.

At KFZ-Steiner we turn left, enter a small wooded area (Rehsteig) and continue to the curling hall/ sewage treatment plant.

Across beautiful fields we reach a small bridge where we cross the Haselbach stream, then continue to the right.

Shortly before a pasture - to avoid it - we turn left and have a short steeper forest section ahead of us until we reach the asphalt road.

We pass the farm "Luis am Riegl", "Hans im Lafnitzegg", the carpenter's workshop Hofer (there we leave the Barbara-Sicharter-Weg) and the "Faustenbauer".

After about 200 m on the main road, where we can watch the herd of Murbodner cows grazing, we turn left uphill, past the "Pittermann", towards the "Toten Mann", across fields - what a wonderful view - to "In Reith".

Once on the road, we follow it to the right, after "Hansl in Reith" the middle path. Now we have almost made it and finally get back to the starting point at the village square via "Brunnschneider".

Timetables and travel information can be found at Österreichische Bundesbahnen (ÖBB) or at Verkehrsauskunft Verbundlinie. For local transportation we recommend the SAM-Sammeltaxi Oststeiermark.
Parking possible throughout Wenigzell, best at the old armoury or at the cemetery.
