Wer hoch hinaus will … steigt von Deutschfeistritz in alpines Gelände auf. Um die Runde in zwei Tagen zu schaffen, muss man früh los und fit sein wie ein Wanderschuh. Es gibt zwar etliche Möglichkeiten abzukürzen, aber die Königstour ist nichts für reine Schönwetterwanderer!

The Way of St. James in Western Styria was opened on 25 July 2010 and is divided into eight stages. These were chosen so that they are manageable for the average hiker. Overnight accommodation is available at the end of each stage. Particularly athletic pilgrims will probably manage a larger daily workload; in the event of bad weather or sightseeing, the mileage will be less. For the most part, the trail leads along existing hiking and pilgrimage routes and partly along asphalted municipal and provincial roads.

Truly impressive: from Plotscherbauer to Krautwasch!Modern transportation options make it possible to traverse many of the Gleinalpe’s incredibly fascinating hilltops and ridges on a long route without having to spend the night. Since the long-distance hiking trails 02 (Central Alps Trail) and +5 (North-South Long-Distance Hiking Trail) offer no places to stop for refreshments on the section between the Hochanger shelter and the Gleinalm shelter, we begin our grand tour at the high-altitude Plotscherbauer alpine inn and, after crossing the Fensteralm, Polsterkogel, Eiblkogel, Lärchkogel, and Speikkogel, take a break at the Gleinalm Shelter and, well-fortified, even continue our hike from there across the picturesque Brendlwiese to the former Krautwasch Inn. It is the combination of asymmetrical, treeless hilltops, long, broad mountain ridges, alpine meadows, and the high-mountain character hinted at in the highest reaches of the Gleinalpe that imbues the tour with a sense of longing that, as sung in the Alpine marching song “We Are Mountain Vagabonds,” “never at rest.”
