Grubbründlweg, Puch bei Weiz

We start this hike at the Puch bei Weiz municipal office and follow the marked hiking trail No. 6 toward the Puch elementary and middle school. From there, the trail leads us on to Singerberg.
Staying on trail No. 6, we reach a bridge. There, we turn right and continue hiking through the forest. After leaving the forest, we keep to the right again and head toward the Ilzberg settlement or the village of Hohenilz. From here, the trail continues to the Binder vacation home.
Now the trail descends slightly along a forest path until we reach a small stream. We then continue on to the road bridge, pass under it, and finally arrive at the viaduct. From there, we follow the trail toward Grub and eventually reach the Grubbründl Chapel.
This is an ideal spot for a rest or a moment of quiet reflection at the chapel, idyllically situated in the shady forest.From the chapel, the hike continues via Hart-Puch and Oberfeistritz to Anger. Here, too, the town invites you to take a leisurely break. In Anger’s parish church, visitors can use an audio guide to listen to the sounds of the organ and the ringing of the bells.
We then begin our return journey to Puch. From Anger, we follow the signs for the R8 bike path to Unterfeistritz and the “Kulmmühle.” There, we turn right and, after a short climb, reach the Gössl fruit warehouse next to the former “Feldseppl” inn. Soon, the parish church of Puch comes back into view, and we finally return to the apple village of Puch.

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.
