Vorberg Walking Tour

From the hiking trail head Vorberg-Steirerhof you follow the road to Brandstätterhof farm and continue past the farms Fasl and Astl until you reach the hiking trail head Vorberg-Arnika. Just after passing pension Arnika you follow the trail to the right (small saw-mill) and continue on the forest track until you reach trail n° 100. Continue to Tischlberger inn and take trail n° 100 passing by Greimelbacherhof farm. To the right via the forest track continue to a trail junction. Make a left and follow the trail back to the starting point at Vorberg-Steirerhof.

Changes in weather patterns, quick falls in temperature, thunderstorms, wind, fog and snow are some of the dangers that can be encountered on a hiking tour. Hosts of alpine huts and mountain refuges have a lot of experience in the mountains and can give good advice about weather and the trails. Poor equipment, overestimation of one's own capabilities, carelessness, poor personal constitution and/or wrong judgement  can lead to critical situations. In case of thunderstorms: avoid summits, ridges and steel ropes.

GPS data and orienteering

Available GPS data - just like hiking maps - is only a guidance for orientation and can never depict a trail exactly with all its details. Especially at dangerous spots it is essential to judge on site how to proceed.

In an emergency please call:

• 140 - for Alpine emergencies (all over Austria)
• 112 - European GSM emergency number

A well-packed backpack is helpful and especially when touring Alpine terrain a tuque, gloves, a windproof jacket and pants are standard equipment. Good, waterproof shoes, sun glasses, sun cream and sufficient beverages are essential too. Torch light, a map of the area, knie and a small first-aid kit should also be in the backpack.
