Description
One should be careful with superlatives - but that from the Wildwiesenwarte the most beautiful panoramic view of the Joglland over the Waldheimat to our Hungarian neighbors is possible, that certainly no one doubts. Fortunately, the lookout is also open in winter and can be easily reached via the cult hiking trail from Miesenbach, but also from Wenigzell and Strallegg. The Kultwanderweg is intended to create historical and folkloric awareness among locals and guests by means of numerous information boards along the way.

The signposting of the trail starts at the Wildwiesenhof Inn and consists of blue signs with yellow inscriptions or symbols (sun).

What is most impressive about this trail is the panorama that awaits you and the exciting information that you will find on the boards and "take home" with you.

Directions

We start at the Wildwiesenhof
From there we walk in western direction uphill to a meadow
At the left edge of the meadow the moon path branches off to the right and leads directly to the wild meadow
The Sonnenweg continues along the Güterweg to a prominent crossroads
At the crossing we keep to the left and walk to the so-called Bildstein
Here the path meets a flat forest road
We follow the forest road until we come to a crossroads
At the crossroads we turn sharp right and walk a short distance on the road
After a few minutes of walking we follow the right side path and then a forest path up to the wild meadow
Via the Floisenkogel or the Wetterkreuz we hike back to the Wildwiesenhof

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

Due to the location, there is hardly any fog here and you can enjoy the magnificent view, also from the 36 meter high Wildwiesenwarte!
