The hike leads through deciduous and mixed forests, with the scenic Stojerhöhe in between. From the Speckbacher Hut, a rare view of the surrounding peaks.
Author’s recommendation
In Payerbach and along the way, villa architecture can be admired. The Speckbacher Hut is also accessible by regular bus (Retter line 1754, only Sundays and holidays) or by car - perhaps a tip for meeting with less "hiking-enthusiastic" relatives, acquaintances, or friends.

Safety information
Between Payerbach and Breitenstein no base, do not go without map or orientation aids.Tips and suggestions
www.vor.atRoadbook
We first hike a short stretch along the little-trafficked road towards Kreuzberg, then enter the forest. The orientation is easy, and the incline is mostly moderate. For the return route, we chose the little-used path via Loibl, which leads into the Payerbachgraben. Here, the marking and trail sometimes really need to be searched for.
For the further return, it is recommended to follow the yellow marking in the Payerbachgraben from house Kreuzberg No. 9, ascending again to the Gloggnitz Circular Hiking Trail. The blue-marked path to Payerbach follows the less trafficked road (about 2.5 km).
