Panoramic section of the Northern Alpine Trail, Lower Austria.
From the Voisthalerhütte it goes further up and along the Graf-Meran-Steig to the Schiestlhaus. Continue to Hochschwab summit cross and Fleischer bivouac and from there steeply down to Häuslalm and Sackwiesenalm. The idyllically situated Sackwiesensee is also nearby - in the hot summer months you can cool off here and enjoy the beautiful natural atmosphere. From here it is only a stone's throw to the Sonnschienhütte.

Beautiful loop in Styria.
It starts at the Aflenzer Bürgeralm - there are enough parking spaces here. In a generous round through sparse forest and beautiful flower meadows, you reach the Schönleitenhaus via the Windgruben trail, from where you have a fabulous view. You can also stop off here. The way back is then on a direct route - sometimes a bit steep - down to the Bürgeralm.
