From Weiz to the Raas summit
Open
The hike leads from the town of Weiz along beautiful forest paths to the Raaser summit cross and back again.
On the Raasberg circular hiking trail, every nature lover gets his money's worth due to the fantastic views from all sides. With the possibility of starting in the city of Weiz, it is the perfect hike without a car. The small fine mountain invites at any time of the year and due to its large bench next to the summit you can also have an excellent picnic here. The hike leads along idyllic trails in the middle of the forest. There are two slight inclines, but they are easily manageable. On this trail you can switch off and really enjoy nature.
