This leisurely circular hike is located in the ApfelLand-Stubenbergsee in the market town of Anger. Along orchards and through forests we come to imposing structures.

The Austrojan horse at theTöchterlehof impresses with its size and is, according to the Guinness Book, the largest wooden horse in the world.

Külml Castle, which we pass, can only be visited from the outside, as it is privately owned.

For very special occasions this baroque estate offers a unique scenery. It is possible to rent the castle area on request.

Swimming pool Anger

We start our hike at the Anger swimming pool, the central hiking starting point of Anger.

The circular hiking trail largely goes along the cycle path R8. After about 3km we come to the Töchterlehof - here would be the ideal time to take a short break and look at the beautiful stud farm.

Along the Feistritz (river), pleasantly cool in summer, we pass under the viaduct, which was completed in 1911 on the R8

until you reach a fork in the road.

There we can decide whether to make a short rest at the inn "Stixpeter" which is just in front of us, or to turn right and continue to the castle Külml.

Past the castle Külml you get back to the Töchterlehof and you go the same way back to the starting point in Anger.
