    Tour corresponds to trail no. 47a on the regional hiking map (see literature) and in places on local signposts

    The municipality of Lobmingtal has around 1800 inhabitants and has existed in this form since the merger of Kleinlobming and Großlobming in 2015 and has borne the joint municipality name Lobmingtal since 1.1.2016. In summer 2020, numerous local recreational and hiking trails were redesigned, marked and signposted, including the hiking trail to the Steinplan via the sunny side of Kleinlobming. The Steinplan can be hiked from many sides and offers a worthwhile destination with the Steinplan shelter, which is located in the immediate vicinity of the summit cross. The route is varied and numerous viewpoints and rest areas invite you to enjoy the panorama, especially on the descent.

    Roadbook

    From the center in Kleinlobming (1), 759 m, we walk a short distance into the valley and see the signpost in the direction of Sonnberg. We turn left and follow the asphalt road uphill for approx. 1.5 km. At the crossroads we keep right and after a short while we come to the farm vlg. Kahlbauer (2), 915 m, where we continue left between the garage and the house. We follow the red-white-red trail markings, which are first visible on a forest road and then along a hollow path. At an altitude of approx. 1150 m, we come out of the forest and have a wonderful panoramic view. There is a passage here at the barbed wire fence. Now we continue to the right of the fence, come to a barrier and follow the forest road until we see the entrance to the hiking trail on the right. Continuing uphill along the well-marked hiking trail, we pass a small hut and then turn right again onto the hiking trail. A little way through the forest and we reach a meadow or gravel road, which we now follow almost level. At the next crossroads (3), 1280 m, we see the yellow signpost in the direction of Steinplan with a time indication. Further uphill, we reach the "Überstiegl Papst Pirschtling" crossroads and are now on the well-marked long-distance hiking trail 02. The hiking trail crosses a gravel road several times and leads directly to Steinplan (4), 1670 m, where there is a Naturefriends refuge in the immediate vicinity of the summit cross.

    For a conflict-free coexistence on alpine pastures and meadows it is important to observe a few rules, especially when traveling with dogs. (Source: www.sichere-almen.at  - 06/2021)
    • Avoid contact with grazing animals, do not feed them, keep a safe distance!
    • Keep calm, do not frighten grazing animals!
    • Mother cows protect their calves. Avoid encounters between mother cows and dogs!
    • Always keep dogs under control and on a short leash. If an attack by a grazing animal is foreseeable: Immediately unleash!
    • Do not leave hiking trails on alpine pastures and meadows!
    • If grazing animals block the way, avoid them as far as possible!
    • When grazing animals approach: Stay calm, do not turn your back, avoid the animals!
    • Leave the grazing area quickly at the first sign of restlessness of the animals!Fences must be respected!
    • If there is a gate, use it, then close it well and cross the pasture quickly!
    • Treat the people working here, nature and the animals with respect!

    A few tips for correct and fair behavior in the forest: (Source: www.bundesforste.at  - 6/2021)

    • Hikers should avoid visits to the forest about 1.5 hours before sunrise and after sunset, as wildlife is especially active during this time.
    • Plastic bottles, handkerchiefs, cigarette butts & Co have no place in the forest! Please make sure that you do not leave any trash in the forest.
    • Camping and making fire - is strictly forbidden in the forest!
    • In principle, each person is allowed to collect 2 kg of mushrooms and berries per day for personal use in the forest. It is only forbidden if the forest owner expressly forbids it.
