On the Raasberg circular hiking trail, every nature lover gets his money's worth due to the fantastic views from all sides. With the possibility of starting in the city of Weiz, it is the perfect hike without a car. The small fine mountain invites at any time of the year and due to its large bench next to the summit you can also have an excellent picnic here. The hike leads along idyllic trails in the middle of the forest. There are two slight inclines, but they are easily manageable. On this trail you can switch off and really enjoy nature.

We start our hike at the main square in Weiz. From there we follow the Pope Francis Pilgrimage Trail to the Basilica on the Weizberg.
We continue along the road through Thannhausen until we reach the village of Raas. From there on there is also a parking lot in case you want to take a shorter route.
Very soon we come to a forest path and we pass the barrier on the side. From here we follow the path and keep to the right. We follow the large forest paths and keep going up.
After a short time we reach the summit. Down we go along the same path. - Highest point
