Routeplaner

We start at the voluntary fire brigade or at the Apfelschlössl in Albersdorf Prebuch in the direction of the school. There we take a leisurely walk along the road past houses decorated with flowers - as is so common in Eastern Styria - until we pass an interestingly designed chapel and after about 500 m turn right towards the Steinbachklamm gorge.
Here we continue along the road for a short while until we descend into the forest and enter the Steinbachklamm gorge.
We hike along the Steinbachklamm gorge on narrow paths, with a few bridges to cross and the unspoilt natural landscape here inviting us to linger in many places.
In spring (depending on the weather, mid to late March), numerous spring knot flowers can be admired here and especially on warmer summer days (after a few rainy days), numerous spots invite you to play in the water and relax.
At the end of the gorge at the signposts towards Kalch and Neudorfberg, we take the turn towards Neudorfberg - we stay straight for a short while until we turn off to the left and arrive at the road after a short, easy climb through beautiful fields and a small forest.
Here we turn left towards Neudorfberg and walk straight on, passing fragrant apple orchards with a beautiful view towards Kulm, along the road back to Albersdorf to our starting point.

Stop off at the Apfelschlössel or drive the few kilometres to St. Ruprecht an der Raab where you will find a variety of restaurants and, especially if you are travelling with children, numerous ice cream parlours with homemade ice cream!

Timetables and travel information can be found at Österreichische Bundesbahnen (ÖBB) or at Verkehrsauskunft Verbundlinie.
