Roadbook
The Styrian main route of the alpannonia® hiking trail begins in the center of Fischbach with an ascent to the so-called “Zellerkreuz.” The trail continues to the Almtor, from where a side trail leads to the summit of the Teufelstein (1,499 m) in about 15 minutes. The Teufelstein is home to Styria’s oldest alpine place of worship. From Almtor, the trail continues at a leisurely pace without any major inclines toward Alpl. From Alpl, the trail climbs steadily to the Rattener Alm with its striking wind farm. From there, you reach the Rosegger shelter via alpine meadows.
Tip: Take a detour to Peter Rosegger’s birthplace and the forest school. At Alpl, you can visit the forest school founded by Peter Rosegger.

Equipment
Always bring appropriate maps with you. Wear sturdy shoes suitable for the hike, and bring sun and rain protection, as well as water and a light snack. Bring your cell phone and save the emergency numbers.When choosing a route, make sure it matches your mountaineering experience and physical condition.
Check the weather forecast in advance. The weather in the mountains can change surprisingly quickly. Therefore, always set out properly equipped (e.g., with rain gear).
Check whether the huts and snack bars you plan to visit along the way are open. Let someone know your planned route and expected return time before you set out.
If you encounter grazing animals, remain calm, keep a safe distance, and do not startle or feed the animals. Dogs must be kept on a leash, and you should cross the pasture quickly and without making any sudden movements.
