Along the G.E.R.A. Park Circular Hiking Trail

The G.E.R.A. Park Eichberg is a themed trail with several adventure stations. The name comes from the initial letters of "Health, Recreation, Rest, and Activity." This circular trail in the northern part of the Hartbergerland is a perfect combination of exercise and experience and is therefore ideal for young and old alike. The various adventure stations are designed in very different ways, ranging from traditional to modern to highly innovative. Part of the trail is also the forest and hunting nature trail leading to the observation tower, which has 96 steps and is 20 m high in total.

We follow the asphalt road gently downhill and turn right before the creek onto a forest road, where we see a fitness trail and a playground, 547 m. We continue along the creek to the fish pond and then right on the forest road uphill to a junction, 613 m. Now left and further along a footpath, characterized by beautiful fields and meadows, and in the distance, we can already see the tower. It gently ascends to the guesthouse Pferschywirt, 698 m, where we turn right onto the forest and hunting nature trail. After a few meters, the G.E.R.A. Park hiking trail turns left, but we first make a detour via the wooden sculpture trail to the observation tower, 741 m, at Sippenkogel. On the descent, we make a small round via the
