Three in one - From Hochsteiermark to Joglland and on to the Viennese Alps
Via Peter Rosegger's Waldheimat we head into Joglland and continue over the Pfaffensattel into the Semmering region. Accompanied by Semmering scenery steeped in history, the tour takes us back to the legendary Teufelstein area in Stanz.
The tour starts in Stanz im Mürztal, where you reach the Alpl via Kindberg and Krieglach. Here you have the opportunity to park in the area of Peter Rosegger's Forest School and visit the Forest School Museum. If you have more time, we recommend a short hike further on to Peter Rosegger's birthplace. This can also be visited, and there is also a snack station where you can stop for a break.
The tour then continues by motorbike via St. Kathrein, Ratten and Rettenegg to the Pfaffensattel and into the Semmering region.
