The hike up the legendary and legendary Teufelstein leads us to one of the oldest cult sites in Styria. The bizarre summit rock of the same name with its steep east face, which may have been the subject of prehistoric or early historical rock processing, rises around 6 meters out of the flat meadow plateau and has a tower-like shape from the south. According to legend, Lucifer was supposed to build a tower from earth to heaven on Christmas Eve, but he failed. Our ascent in the gentle mountain and hilly landscape of Joglland leads us from Fischbach via the Waldtoni-Alm to the iconic summit rock next to the summit cross and from there downhill via a striking root path to the Schanzsattel, from where we hike back to Fischbach via the Zeller Kreuz.
We start the tour at the Fischbach Ort bus stop, 998 m, between the church and the Fischbacherhof inn; there is a signpost for "Ägydikapelle". Trail no. 6 to the chapel, a hidden Baroque jewel from the 18th century next to a healing spring used to treat eye complaints, leads steeply downhill. At the chapel, 938 m, a rest area invites you to take a break before we head back up to the forest path (path no. 6) and continue on this to the right. Once again we have beautiful views of the Ädydikapelle chapel and then enter forest terrain, where a well-maintained path with beautiful views of the open areas on the opposite slope leads us downhill to the small hamlet of Oberdissau. We leave the village along the road, but after just 300 m we turn left and reach the hamlet of Hauswirtshof, 774 m, after crossing the bridge over the Dissaubach stream. From there, we walk along the asphalt road towards "Stadlhof" (trail no. 25) until we reach this hamlet, 895 m above sea level. Here we turn left
