Kranichberger SchwaigRoadbook
On this alpine stage, you’ll reach the highest peak on the alpannonia® long-distance hiking trail. From the Rosegger mountain hut on the Pretulalpe, you’ll hike along a scenic mountain ridge dotted with wind turbines to the 1,783-meter-high Stuhleck. This also marks the highest point of the alpannonia® trail.
After descending to the Pfaffensattel, the trail winds uphill and downhill, mostly through forests with some beautiful views, to the Feistritzsattel. From there, the trail climbs gently through Schwaigen (alpine pastures) to the 1,743-meter-high Hochwechsel, where the Wetterkoglerhaus is located.

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.
