Peter Rosegger dedicated many literary works to his " Waldheimat ", the area between the Mürz and Feistritz valleys, which today is crossed by the two long-distance hiking trails 02 (Central Alpine Trail) and 06 (Mariazell Trail).
A visit to his birthplace on the Alpl, the Kluppeneggerhof , and the forest school opened in 1902 , which could be built through his appeal for donations for the peasant children and is now a museum, should definitely be included in the tour.
The Devil's Stone is with its three large, superimposed rock blocks a legendary place of worship .
It is said that Lucifer, after being cast down from heaven into hell, once asked the Lord God to take him back to heaven. Lucifer had to build a tower from the earth to the sky in the shortest time, which failed thoroughly. Satan had only been able to put three huge stones on top of each other.
Around the strange summit rock, which fascinates up to the present time, speculations are or were made again and again. So he is not only an energy place, he is even supposed to represent an early calendar stone or an astronomical bearing instrument.

Since 2005, numerous wind farms have been built in the Fischbach Alps. Starting from the Schwarzriegel, over the Moschkogel, the Pretul, the Steinriegel and the Rattneralm up to the Hochpürschtling there are countless wind turbines today. The naming of the wind park on Hochpürschtling is interesting. In the middle of Peter Rosegger's forest home now stands the "Windheimat".
