This circular route leads from Leber northwards to Präbichl. Often on unmarked paths. Repeatedly surprising with wonderful views over the Graz mountain range.

From the parking lot at Leber, follow Rannachstraße slightly downhill to the north. At the Buchhoferkreuz, turn onto the Buchhoferweg. Tip: there is a farm shop at the Buchhofer farm; however, you must check the opening hours first. Now continue along the road through forest and fields until you reach an abandoned farmstead. This is also the last FLUX Taxi station before the public road ends. The path continues on a forest road through the woods until you reach a revitalized farmstead with a wayside shrine. From here, the old cart path leads uphill northwest. If the first section on the meadow is currently being used as a cow pasture, you can walk the first section pathless in the forest above. This short stretch (50m) is difficult to walk (T2) and without a path.
Follow the cart path uphill until just before the abandoned Schifter farmstead. Here you could shorten the loop by continuing straight ahead,
We turn left shortly before the Schifter farmstead and reach a saddle with a raised hide. Straight ahead, a wide tractor track leads downhill north until we reach Rannachstraße again. Follow the road northwest again to the Rumpl farmhouse. Cross the yard there and turn right immediately after the main house onto hiking trail 767. The trail leads uphill across a pasture heading east. After the first holiday cottages, you reach a bench with a wonderful view. It's worth taking a break here to enjoy the panorama. We now follow hiking trail 767 uphill, through the Muhr farmstead and further until we reach Schöcklstraße. At this point, we've reached the highest point and follow the road southwards to Theißlwirt. Here you can sufficiently refresh yourself and take a break. Just after Theißlwirt, hiking trail 757 branches off below the road and leads us south. We reach Schöcklstraße again, follow it shortly until the next trail junction. The path descends steeply and slippery through the forest until it meets a forest road. From here, we follow the wide hiking trail with the markers until we reach the end of the trail and markers after a fresh clearing. You can now bypass the large meadow on the eastern edge as shown on the track to return to the car. For a more adventurous route, you can go directly west through pathless, overgrown ditches to the road below the parking lot. Shorter doesn't necessarily mean faster ;)
