Sulberg-Round from the Nechnitz
Open
A leisurely hike around the Nechnitz plateau - with views of the Rote Wand, into the Mur valley and from the Schöckl to eastern Styria.
The tour starts on the
Nechnitz, a plateau between the Passailer Kessel and the Teichalm. On the Nechnitz there are two very cosy establishments with good cuisine - the
Frankenhof and the
Gasthof Haider - for a stop before or after the tour.
From the Nechnitz, the easy forest trail leads counterclockwise almost all the way to the Rechberg. Then head up to the left and past a few farms towards Sulberg. This is now also the steepest part of the hike. You should definitely make the short detour up to the Sulberg cross, as there is a cosy place to rest or have a snack here with a truly wonderful 360 degree view!
The rest of the trail leads along forest and country roads through several hamlets with farms and pastures back to the Nechnitz.
The trail can also be followed from Rechberg (car park at GH Brandhof), in which case it is about 3 kilometres longer.
