We start our hike on the Schanz at the Alpengasthof Schanz
From there we follow the Zentralalpenweg 02 and part of the Mariazell trail 06A towards Stanglalpe until we reach an important crossroads at the Walserkreuz
Here we take the turn-off to the left towards Stanglalpe (while the Zentralalpenweg continues to the right towards Alpl)
The route is very well marked, it is almost impossible to get lost
After about 2 km we reach a charming alpine meadow with horses, crosses and shrines
After a relaxing rest at the Waldheimat-Schutzhaus Stanglalm, we make a short detour to the summit cross of the Stanglalpe and then hike the same route back to the Schanz.
Alternatively, you can also hike from the Stanglalpe in the direction of Mitterdorf into the Stanzertal valley
Here, trail no. 723 leads first and then trail no. 722 continues. Steeper forest paths alternate with flatter passages across clearings
We have very beautiful viewpoints to Mitterdorf and into the Mürztal valley
However, this path is very demanding with an elevation gain of around 850 meters and no longer leads us to our starting point

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.

Small backpack with water bottle (+ provisions)

Sturdy shoes

Appropriate clothing - if possible several layers - "onion principle".

Rain and sun protectionWalking sticks as required

Mobile phone

Small first aid kit
