Selected alternatives for you
    From the car park, we head straight uphill past the Heuberger farm, where we can branch off to the Wittgruberhof (AV hut of the Weiz section) or walk to the Hoher Zetz. We take the Hans-Riedler-Zetzweg past the Zetz to the Steinbauer refuge in Eibisberg. From there it is all downhill. Past the hunting lodge, through the basin and through the village of Ponigl back to the starting point.

    The tour initially leads through forest, past some farmsteads and then through forest again to the Hoher Zetz (1274m). We walk along the ridge to the Zetz (1264m) and on to the Steinbauer hut. After a rest, we return to the starting point, the "Hand", where our tour began.
