Description

The wayside crosses, shrines and chapels line this scenic path. Between vineyards you have time to enjoy the most beautiful view over the district of Stein on a suspended lounger.

Directions

Entrance vis á vis Hotel Stoiser into the forest. Initially forest path past the Leberkegeln (Roman tumuli from the 1st and 2nd century AD), then alternately over forest paths and hardly traveled municipal roads. The shorter route takes you along vineyards to the village of Stein and then rejoins the longer route in Kleinsteinberg. The longer route leads in ridge position finally to the Kögelberg (with 405 m highest point of the former district Fürstenfeld). Both routes take you from the Oberberg down to the village of Bad Loipersdorf. Then continue in the direction of Rehgraben and via the forest path back to the spa. An experience!

Equipment
 

Proper backpack packing makes many things easier: Pack heavy things first. The water bottle should always be within reach in a side pocket. All the things that are often needed, such as sunglasses, camera or hiking map, belong on top. An emergency kit, including blister plasters, belongs in every rucksack and it is always advisable to dress in layers.

Who is reporting the incident (callback number)? When did the accident happen? What is the weather like at the site of the incident?

 

Tips

In addition to the interesting crossroads descriptions, the tour is also very scenic. For a long time, the route takes you along a ridge with beautiful views of the rolling hills of the thermal region.
