Start
Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
The shorter route leads along vineyards to the village of Stein and then rejoins the longer route in Kleinsteinberg.
The longer route leads along a ridge to the Kögelberg (with 405m the highest point of the former district Fürstenfeld). Both routes take you from the Oberberg down to the village of Bad Loipersdorf. Then continue in the direction of Rehgraben and via the forest path back to the spa. An experience!

Equipment
Proper backpack packing makes many things easier: Pack heavy things first. The water bottle should always be within reach in a side pocket. All the things that are often needed, such as sunglasses, camera or hiking map, belong on top. An emergency kit, including blister plasters, belongs in every rucksack and it is always advisable to dress in layers.
