  • We start (here still without snowshoes) at the village square in Fischbach and walk first towards the church, past the school and on towards Birkfeld until we turn right towards Elmleiten
  • There, trail no. 13 - the so-called Moosweg - branches off. Here we change to snowshoes and take a pleasant walk on mossy ground until we reach trail no. 14 - the fern path
  • We hike back along this trail in a snow-covered forest
  • Then we take the country road back to the starting point in Fischbach.
This hike can also be done in reverse (first No. 14 and then No. 13).
Timetables and travel information can be found at Österreichische Bundesbahnen (ÖBB) or at Verkehrsauskunft Verbundlinie. For local transportation we recommend the SAM-Sammeltaxi Oststeiermark.
