    Roadbook

    The 7-Bacherl-Weg leads us at the beginning along the Feistritz river into the Freienberger Klamm gorge to the Feistritzwerke show power station, where we cross the state road.

    After a steep climb through a forest we reach Neuhaus Castle.

    Passing the farm Erlacher, the path leads through a rising forest directly past the 1st Austrian Schnapslehrpfad - Hödlhof.

    Steadily, gentle ascents and ridges alternate with the valleys and streams behind them.

    From Stubenberg on we cross several small streams in natural wooded ditches between the agriculturally used ridges.

    After a final climb through a forest, the trail reaches the Stelzer-Lex inn. ( In July and August no inn operation). A beverage vending machine is available.

    From here we return to the starting point on foot in one hour.

    Tips for even more hiking fun: Rules of behaviour when hiking

    A few tips on correct and fair behaviour in the forest: (Source: www.bundesforste.at )

    Hikers should avoid visiting the forest approx. 1.5 hours before sunrise and after sunset, as wild animals are particularly active at 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 making fires is strictly forbidden in the forest!In principle, every person in the forest is allowed to collect 2kg of mushrooms and berries per day for their own use. It is only prohibited if the forest owner expressly forbids it.

    Sturdy shoesAppropriate clothing - preferably several layers - "onion principle"

    Rain and sun protection

    Hiking poles as required

    Cell phone
