Description

A very varied path that offers a lot, from traces of a dragon to St. Ägydius, the Fischbach parish patron.

Directions

We start our tour at the village square in Fischbach. From here we walk past the church towards the elementary school. There we cross the street to the cemetery and turn right into the Roseggersiedlung. Here we walk slightly uphill for a short time until we turn left following the yellow markings onto path no. 2. A shady forest path with fragrant conifers leads us to the “Faschingbauer Kreuz” wayside shrine and then on to the dragon seat. The tracks of a dragon and a beautiful view of Eastern Styria await us there. Here we enjoy the view on the rest benches before we continue to the right after a short, very steep connecting path to hiking trail no. 3. After a few hairpin bends we come to the state road, where we keep left and after about 50 m turn right onto path no. 6 towards Oberdissau. On the so-called Ägydiweg/Schafbrand (path no. 6) we hike back to the starting point at the Ägydius Chapel along a steep forest path.

A few tips on correct and fair behaviour in the forest: (Source: www.bundesforste.at )

 

Hikers should avoid visits to the forest about 1.5 hours before sunrise and after sunset, as wild animals are particularly active during this time.

 

Plastic bottles, handkerchiefs, cigarette butts etc. have no place in the forest! Please make sure that you do not leave any rubbish in the forest.

 

Camping and lighting fires are strictly forbidden in the forest!

 

In principle, every person is allowed to pick 2 kg of mushrooms and berries per day for personal use. It is only prohibited if the forest owner expressly forbids it.

Tips

Fischbach also offers many places to stop for refreshments and a great swimming pond with a mini golf course.
