In the footsteps of Peter Rosegger - On the Planet Trail, Rettenegg

An extended, but through the numerous stations comfortable hike to the highest peak on the eastern edge of the Alps, the Stuhleck. The panoramic view extends from the summit as well as on parts of the ascent from Hochschwab over the Gesäuse, the Rax massif to the Pannonian lowlands with the offshore eastern Styria.
The alternation between the wooded ascent to the alpine pastures of the Fischbach Alps as well as the summit of the Stuhleck and the numerous stations, which bring us closer to the planetary system in a playful way, makes the mountain tour an experience for the whole family.
