A challenging hike from the idyllic resort of Anger up to the local museum Rauchstubenhaus and Gasthaus Almer in Edelschachen. Beautiful places accompany you there.

An eventful hike at 800 m above sea level to the "Rauchstubenhaus" a small local museum with rural exhibits. The 300 year old farmhouse high above Anger, was inhabited until 1967. Guided tours take place several times a day from Thursday to Sunday.

We start in Anger and lead first along the "Zetzbach" to the main square Anger. Then it goes over the "Erzherzog Johann Stiege" to the "Schönen Aussicht". After a somewhat strenuous climb, we reach an access road that leads us past a farmstead. We follow this road to the Rauchstubenhaus and Gasthaus Almer where we can fortify ourselves with culinary delicacies.

On the way back you will reach a historical building - the castle ruins of Waxenegg (not accessible for safety reasons),

but you can book a historical tour - Lost Place Tour directly with Mr. Erich Brandl or via the Slow-Trips website.

A few tips for correct and fair behavior in the forest:

(Source: www.bundesforste.at )

Hikers should avoid visits to the forest about 1.5 hours before sunrise and after sunset, as wildlife is particularly active during this time.
Plastic bottles, handkerchiefs, cigarette butts & Co have no place in the forest! Please make sure that you do not leave any trash in the forest.
Camping and making fire - is strictly forbidden in the forest!
Basically, each person is allowed to collect 2 kg of mushrooms and berries per day in the forest for personal use. It is only forbidden if the forest owner expressly prohibits it.

Small rucksack with water bottle (+ provisions)Sturdy footwearAppropriate clothing - preferably several layers - "onion principle"Rain and sun protectionHiking poles as requiredMobile phoneSmall first aid kitRoute descriptionBefore starting the hike, check where you can stop for refreshments, including opening times, or pack suitable provisions.

In the smoke house are original preserved furniture, painted boxes, tools of the farmers, as well as old pictures and documents give an idea of the past.
