Tips for your hiking vacation

The sun shines from the deep blue morning sky. You comfortably get ready, put on your hiking shoes and pack your backpack, don't forget something to drink, rain jacket, sun protection and your charged phone. From our staff you will receive your hiking snack, packed with many delicacies.

For the start you hike with our hiking guide to the Frauenalpe. A real Eldorado for young and old. You form a carpool and get to your starting point, the Murauer Hütte, via the winding Frauenalm road. The half-day tour takes you across the green alpine meadows to the summit. Gorgeous views, wild meadow flowers are your companions and if you're lucky, you'll even find some local edible mushrooms along the way. At the summit, you and your hiking companion determine the Murau mountains. In good weather you can see as far as the Karawanken, Lienz Dolomites and Hohe Tauern. Back at the rustic hut you have earned a little refreshment.

Long distance hiking in Styria

If you are more of a long-distance hiker, there are two different trails to choose from: VIA NATURA in the nature park Zirbitzkogel Grebenzen (interaction between people and nature are brought closer on 10 stages) or the long-distance hiking trail "from glacier to wine". But also the high altitude hiking trails are worth a try. e.g. the 8 summit hike from the Kreischberg to the Frauenalpe. Climb the Kreischberg with the gondola or the Grebenzen or the Lachtal with the chairlifts. From there, take advantage of the leisurely hikes for the whole family.

During your side trip to the Niedere Tauern, a visit to one of our crystal-clear lakes is of course not to be missed. Here you can control your pace individually. Either you are very brave and dare a jump into the cool water or climb the surrounding peaks. Once you have reached your destination, you can fortify yourself with a delicious hiking snack. For a few minutes you lie down in the sun and let your soul dangle.

Numerous rustic huts in the region invite you to a short detour. Tips and opening times can be found at the reception in your hotel Gasthof Lercher. Back you will be bursting with energy and new impressions. We look forward to spoiling you in the evening in our Lercher's Restaurant .
