- Description
-
On the varied circular hiking trail you also come to the village borders of Miesenbach and Strallegg. The Wildwiesen lookout tower is located on the border triangle of Wenigzell - Strallegg - Miesenbach. There are refreshment stops in Wenigzell and in the Wildwiesenhütte.
- Directions
-
We start at the village square and head down to the local history museum. Up to the "Brunnschneider" and on to "In Reith" and the "Stockbauer". There we leave the asphalt road and hike up along beautiful forest paths to the Kreuzwirt. Now we follow the Roman road and branch off to the left. We follow beautiful hiking trails to the Wildwiese at 1256 metres. At the lookout tower we enjoy the wonderful view and, in the best conditions, we can even see as far as Hungary. After a little refreshment in the Wildwiesenhütte (which we have really earned), we continue our hike. Down to the "Toten Mann", through the "Walddörfl" and we are already back at the Brunnschneider, where we have a wonderful view of Wenigzell. Past the local history museum we reach the village square again.

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.
