    The former mining village of Ratten in Peter Rosegger's Waldheimat is the starting point for this stage. Even today, the mining museum recalls the work of the miners underground more than 60 years ago. Also in the park of the village sculptures and replicas remind of the mining of that time. Once you have reached the Roseggerhaus on the Pretul after the ascent, there are also some interesting things to see there. In addition to the magnificent view of the surrounding mountains, the striking Peter Bergner Warte also stands out. This was built in memory of the innkeeper of the Rosegger Schutzhaus, Peter Bergner, who was murdered in 1904.

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

    Hikers should avoid visits to the forest about 1.5 hours before sunrise and after sunset, as wild animals are particularly active during 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 lighting fires are strictly forbidden in the forest!

    In principle, every person is allowed to pick 2 kg of mushrooms and berries per day for personal use. It is only prohibited if the forest owner expressly forbids it.

     

    Small backpack with water bottle (+ provisions)
    Sturdy shoes
    Appropriate clothing - if possible several layers - "onion principle".
    Rain and sun protectionWalking sticks as required
    Mobile phone
    Small first aid kit
    Route description
    Before starting the hike, check the possibilities for refreshments, including opening times, or pack appropriate food and drink
