Description: We would like to invite you to combine your hike in the Pöllauer Tal Nature Park and ApfelLand-Stubenbergsee with art and cultural enjoyment and culinary delights. The individual organ hiking tours can be easily combined with one another; hike from church to church in the Pöllau Valley Nature Park and ApfelLand-Stubenbergsee regions and get to know the advantages of an individual guided tour with the sound of bells and organs. Download the free "Hearonymus" app, select the "Churches in the ApfelLand-Stubenbergsee and Pöllau Valley Nature Park" under "Guides" and your smartphone has become an audio guide.
Directions: Pöllauberg – Brandstatt Wir starten bei der Wallfahrtskirche Pöllauberg, gehen vorbei an der Annakirche und queren den Hauptplaz. Unmittelbar vor der Volksschule den Schildern „Hirschbirnweg“ folgend treffen wir bei einer Abzweigung auf unseren Wanderweg rot-weiß-rot Nr. 946 „St. Anna – Hartberg“. Diesem folgen wir über ein paar Stufen und dann links abbiegend durch den Hochwald, weiter auf einer asphaltierten Hauszufahrt, überqueren eine Gemeindestraße in „Ölhof“ und zweigen dann rechts in den Forstweg ab. Diesem folgen wir zuerst entlang der Wiese und später durch den Hochwald, bis wir auf eine kleine Kapelle beim Anwesen „Bachlex“ in der Brandstatt treffen.
Brandstatt – Muggental – St. Anna
Wir wandern die Asphaltstraße ca. 800 m entlang bis zum Obsthof Reiterer. Bei der Bushaltestelle „Oberneuberg GH Scherf“ zweigen wir links ab, folgen der rot-weiß-roten Markierung Nr. 946 und wandern ca. 3 km gemütlich die Asphaltstraße entlang bis zur Wallfahrtskirche St. Anna.

Correct behaviour when hiking: Rules of behaviour when hiking
A few tips on correct and fair behaviour in the forest: (Source:
Bundesforste https://www.bundesforste.at/english.html) Hikers should avoid visiting the forest approx. 1.5 hours before sunrise and after sunset, as wild animals are particularly active at 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 making fires is strictly forbidden in the forest! In principle, every person in the forest is allowed to collect 2kg of mushrooms and berries per day for their own use. It is only prohibited if the forest owner expressly forbids it. In principle, every person in the forest is allowed to collect 2kg of mushrooms and berries per day for their own use.
