Small altitude circuit (Kleiner Höhenrundweg) / Trail 5

A very varied hiking trail. Beautiful forest stretches alternate with beautiful views. Mostly in ridges (Dornegg and Hartbergen) on the way - only in the area Rehgraben there is a comfortable valley crossing.
From the spa to Dornegg only forest paths, then a short, little used municipal road with a beautiful panoramic view over the district of Stein and the Kögelberg area. Through the Rehgraben only forest and meadow path, up towards Hartbergen to the viewing terrace on the roof of the VINO.TAKE. Beautiful panoramic view of the Styrian hills, western Styria and to the east into Burgenland and Hungary.

Detailed information on how to get there can be found here.
Start is in front of the spa left direction Hotel Stoiser and vis á vis into the forest, from where many trails begin. Here you follow the signs in the forest for about 2 km. In the field of vision you always have the municipal road towards Unterlamm. Then follows a short stretch of road accompanied by vineyards with a beautiful view to the right into the Rehgraben and Hartbergen and to the left to Stein and on the Kögelberg. Then it goes back into the forest and downhill into the Rehgraben. Here you cross the asphalt road and walk on a meadow path first flat into the Rehwinkel and then over serpentines towards Hartbergen. There you cross the Thermenstraße and then reach the viewing terrace on the roof of the VINO.TAKE. Afterwards, the trail goes off the road and over the "Krafthügel" back to the spa.            
I would recommend enjoying the beautiful panoramic view on the panoramic terrace on the roof of VINO.TAKE with a glass of wine. Opening hours: Mon-Sat 9:00 to 12:00 and 13:00 to 18:00
