The arrangement of the classical planetary bodies took place thereby after their position of 5. May of the year 2000.
At the starting pavilion and the locations of the planetary models are boards with descriptions for Earth, Moon, Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, the asteroid belt, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. These descriptions additionally provide a link between modern astronomy based on today's worldview and the astronomy of past cultures and eras.
The green signposts with the inscription Planetenweg and the symbol show you the way from the starting pavilion to the Stuhleck.

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.
