The tour starts in the sunny village and flower street town of Strallegg. Very worth seeing here is the parish church with frescoes by Johann Cyriak Hackhofer.

A few tips on correct and fair behaviour in the forest: (Source: www.bundesforste.at )

Hikers should avoid visits to the forest about 1.5 hours before sunrise and after sunset, as wild animals are particularly active during this time.

Plastic bottles, handkerchiefs, cigarette butts etc. have no place in the forest! Please make sure that you do not leave any rubbish in the forest.

Camping and lighting fires are strictly forbidden in the forest!

In principle, every person is allowed to pick 2 kg of mushrooms and berries per day for personal use. It is only prohibited if the forest owner expressly forbids it.

Proper backpacking makes many things easier: pack heavy things first. The water bottle should always be within easy reach in a side pocket. All things that are often needed, such as sunglasses, camera or hiking map, belong on top.

Before the start of the hike, check the opening times for refreshment stops and pack the appropriate food.

An emergency kit (incl. blister plaster) belongs in every backpack!

It is always advisable to dress according to the "onion system"!

A good hiking boot is a good companion and should never be missing on the mountain!

When you arrive at the Seehütte Töglhofer, instead of hiking back to Strallegg, you can follow the "Edlseer Hoamatweg" and learn a lot about the home of the music group "Die Edlseer".
