Border Hike Through Styria’s Southernmost Alpine PastureThe Remschniggalm represents an unusual landscape for southern Styria. You wouldn’t expect to find a classic cattle pasture with a hut at around 700 m above sea level between Arnfels and Leutschach, but there it is. And it’s also the southernmost alpine pasture in Styria. Although the loop trail from Arnfels starts with a longer stretch of paved road, it then changes character entirely and offers us a wonderful alpine experience with spectacular views. The sweet chestnut is also a constant companion along the route—and in October, it’s served as fresh roasted chestnuts at the Remschnigg Hut. Bon appétit!
