School Exam Hike in the Footsteps of Peter Rosegger

This hike takes those interested in Rosegger along the path that Peter Rosegger and his schoolmates took when they walked with their teacher Michael Patterer to the exam in Krieglach.

We start our hike at Alpl, at the Forest School. The path leads us over the Freßnitz Gorge and the former inn Postmühle to Krieglach, where we reach the Rosegger Park, which provides a documentation of Peter Rosegger's life.

Of course, the hike can also be started from Krieglach - Rosegger Park. Here, you'll find a detailed description of all the hikes starting from 'Rosegger Park'.
