In the first section of the trail, on the Fairy Tale Meadow, fairy tale characters and their stories inspire us - from Snow White to the Frog King, every story is told here. The second part of the circular hike is dominated by beautiful vantage points in eastern Styria and leads you back to Fischbach via the Fairy Tale Meadow.

Author’s recommendation

At the end of the Roseggersiedlung there is the possibility to take the fairy tale path to the left to explore even more fairy tales. This also leads to the fairy tale meadow.

Equipment

Proper backpacking makes a lot of things easier!

 

Pack heavy things first. The water bottle should always be within easy reach in a side pocket. All things that are often needed such as sunglasses, camera or hiking map, belong on top. An emergency kit including blister plaster belongs in every backpack and a clothing according to the "onion system" is always recommended! A good hiking shoe is a good companion and should never be missing on the mountain! Before the start of the hike, check the possibilities for refreshments and their opening times, or pack the appropriate food.
