Beautiful, scenic field, forest and meadow trail, mostly flat and away from roads.

Beautiful, sunny, and almost completely flat, the Panorama loop leads across meadows and fields, along maple-lined walkways and forest paths with mountain rivers, and past traditional farmhouses.Enjoy gorgeous views of the impressive Dachstein, the Scheichenspitze, and the Schladming Tauern. This easy-going walk with wide trails is suitable for prams, the Tannenweg trail with a sporty pushchair. The protestant church of Ramsau is also located along the route: it was built in 1895 in thousands of voluntary working hours of the population together with specialists from Italy. The church stands on 12 m high pilots made of the rock mined from the the mountain Scheichenspitze. Ramsau was the first tolerance municipality (Patent of Toleration) of Styria and is still nowadays 90% Protestant.

Shortly before the farm, the Panorama Allee turns off to the right. A path suitable for strollers with beautiful old maple trees, benches and a wonderful clear view of the Schladminger Tauern. From the Biohotel Ramsauhof shortly on the road downhill and left to the Gruberstube and further to the Pension Alpenhof. From the Alpenhof guesthouse, the circular trail leads a few meters down the road to the right, then left past a few houses, slightly downhill (partly on a root path) to the Angererhof farm. At the Steinacker house cross the road and go straight on to the Hofrat Gruber Weg (at the foot of the Sattelberg). Turn right, walk along the little stream to Ramsau Kulm, cross the road at the Catholic church and after the Steiner ski bar the Philosophenweg begins on the left.
