All stages in one go, spread out over the year or enjoyed individually - just as you like: the newly designed long-distance hiking trail "BergZeitReise" leads through the natural and cultural landscape of Hochsteiermark in 15 stages and with 15 daily tour tips. Over 290 km with highlights such as the Hochschwab or the Rax. Mountaineers and those with sporting ambitions get their money's worth here, as do families.
Please note: The entire circular hiking trail requires a very good level of fitness and experience in mountain hiking. But don't worry: many of the day tours are easy to complete and also suitable for families.
If 15 days in a row is too much for you, we recommend one of the 15 day tours along the trail. The selection ranges from easy circular hikes through the Waldheimat to more challenging tours. Or how about a leisurely tour through the historic old town of Bruck an der Mur and on to the Madereck?
Good to know: Everyone who completes the entire BergZeitReise automatically follows one or two of the herb hikes.
What would a long-distance hiking trail be without refreshment stops? The offer ranges from hearty hut cuisine to the finest hut specialties. Indulge yourself with cheese spaetzle, game ragout or crusty pork roast, and how about a dessert of Fedelkoch, farmer's doughnuts or Kaiserschmarrn?
One thing goes without saying: "Homunkelfraß", as the Styrian poet Peter Rosegger called lovelessly prepared food, is definitely not to be found anywhere here. In Hochsteiermark, freshly prepared food made from regional ingredients is just as much a matter of course as the warmth of the hosts.
The BergZeitReise trail is a grand adventure. Here are a few tips to make your hike a success:
