Roadbook
The next destination is the Buchkogel with the Rudolfswarte, offering beautiful views over Graz. From here, the route descends, partly via wooden steps, to the Steinbergstraße, where it turns left. At the Dorrer inn, the trail turns right into Thalerseestraße, which is soon left again as the path climbs towards the wayside shrine “Hergott auf der Wies” at the Gaisberg saddle.
A few hundred metres beyond the saddle, a drivable forest road branches off to the north. The route follows this road for about two kilometres downhill to Eggenberg and its impressive palace. The route from Söding to the stop of tram line 1 at Schloss Eggenberg is about 20 km. The stretch through the city to the Hilmteich, our next stage starting point, is just under 8 km.
Those with time to spare should explore Schloss Eggenberg and the old town of Graz. A visit to Graz’s historic centre is highly recommended: narrow streets, historic courtyards and the iconic clock tower define the UNESCO-listed cityscape.

Emergency
Call Tip – Answer the six key questions: What happened? How many people are
injured? Where did the accident happen (possibly with GPS coordinates)? Who is
calling (call-back number)? When did it happen? What are the weather conditions
at the accident site?
Packing your backpack properly makes a big difference: pack heavier items first. Your water bottle should always be easily accessible in a side pocket. Items you need frequently, such as sunglasses, a camera, or a hiking map, should be placed on top. An emergency kit, including blister plasters, belongs in every backpack, and dressing in layers (“onion principle”) is always recommended.
