Organ Hiking: Stage Pöllau - St. Stefan

• Starting from the Pöllau parish church and heading south, through Lamberggasse or Remigigasse, we begin our tour.

• Continue along a gravel road through the Berghofer estate, Hinteregg 111, until you reach the signpost with the number 945, Maria Fiederbründl, the marking white-green-white no. 9, and turn right here over the small bridge.From the Freiberg district, head in a south-westerly direction through a slightly ascending mixed forest.
• After passing a stream over a longer bridge, the trail finally leads slightly uphill over open ground past a chapel to the Mauerhofer family (former inn).
• From there, slightly uphill in a south-westerly direction to the Berger Kreuz cross and the Kroisbach bus stop.
