Spiritual path
Tourismusverband Oststeiermark - Geschäftsstelle Region Joglland - Waldheimat Verified partner Explorers Choice
At the vulgo "Röckhofer" not only the view, but also the remarkable lime tree, is worth a mention.
The existing wayside crosses and monuments lead one further to the "Prembauer" and down to the Nießnitz. Following the road along the stream, the path leads back to the parish church. This section is easily passable with a wheelchair as well as with a baby carriage. Along the way, more texts await contemplation and meditation.
The tranquility of the path through woods and meadows, the texts and also the walking and lingering let you push aside everyday life and achieve relaxation for body and soul.

Equipment
Proper backpacking makes many things easier: pack heavy things first. The water bottle should always be within easy reach in a side pocket. All things that are often needed, such as sunglasses, camera or hiking map, belong on top.
An emergency kit belongs in every backpack!
A clothing according to the "onion system" is always recommended!
A good hiking boot is a good companion and should never be missing on the mountain!
