Access to starting point:
Take the Maribor-Graz-Salzburg highway (A9); after a few shorter tunnels outside Graz, we leave it and continue right on the fast road in the direction of Wien-Bruck/Muhr-Peggau.
We then leave the fast road at the Frohnleiten exit and continue right in the direction of Teichalm.
In the settlement Gschwend, we leave the main road and continue on the road toward Tyrnau. After the settlement Tyrnau, a steep road leads us to the settlement Nechnitz.
We drive past a few houses to a marked parking lot on the right. Along the road, on the left side, there are also several wooden sculptures placed.
Route description:
From the parking lot, we pass the first wooden statues, following the path along the fence toward the forest.
When we get to the forest, we come across the next wooden statues, which also mark the beginning of the learning trail.
The zigzag path is easy to follow, as it runs alongside sculptures placed along the way.
In doing so, we cross the forest road a few times. When we come out of the forest, a short but the steepest part of the path still awaits us.
We get to the top of the hill Gschaidberg (1239 m). At the top, we can pause briefly and enjoy the stunning view of the surroundings.
We continue past a cross and descend along the path through a meadow, passing a hunting observatory, a grazing fence, and a resting place with a table and benches. We arrive at the nearby forest.
After a short section through the forest, the path leads us back to a meadow, from where we can admire the wall of Rote Wand on the left.
We continue along a wide forest path, which eventually narrows into a footpath, but after a short descent, we rejoin the road.
Along the road, we reach a grazing fence where we encounter a path junction. We continue left along the road, and after 200 m, we arrive at the mountain hut Gerlerkogelhütte.
The path to the top of Gschaidberg is short and in some parts very steep, then the path continues as a pleasant walk through a meadow and the forest.
