For me as a Lower Austrian and Styrian enthusiast, it was something like a hidden gem that caught my eye on the hiking map. This turned into a hike on December 18, 2015 (it was snow-free and relatively mild), which I really enjoyed.

Extensive mountain route from the foot of the Aflenzer Staritzen into the beautiful Mürztal. A bit uncertain for non-local hikers, as the former path from Wappensteinhammer to Kasereck is no longer maintained or marked.

This approach is very well accessible by public transport but initially leads for a while along paved roads. The route finding is easy and the view from Rennfeld is great. The hut is only a few meters from the summit and from the terrace, you can comfortably enjoy the view while tasting the culinary delights of the hut.
