Brandlucken-Anger across the Königskogel

Open
From the Brandlucken over meadows and through forests down to the beautiful market town of Anger - always with a great view!
The Brandlucken is the eastern gateway to the alpine pasture area, but is also situated at over 1,000 m above sea level itself. The village is dominated by the open-air stage of the Huab'n Theatre, which stages Austrian comedy classics here in the summer months.

The trail first leads out along the "HeilBrunnWeges" to the "Mautmini Chapel". It continues past beautiful farmsteads to the "Offnerkreuz". We have long been on the "Almenland Panorama Trail", which takes its name from the magnificent views far out into the East Styrian countryside. As the Königskogel peak is completely overgrown, we bypass it. Immediately afterwards we reach the village of Sallegg, the Obi-Hansl Hut is unfortunately closed by now.

The rest of the trail then leads over the hilly landscape around Rossegg down to Steg. The last stretch leads along the Feistritz river to the centre of Anger. There, a parish church worth seeing and several refreshment stops await the hikers.
