Name: Stage 12 From Glacier to Wine North Route Radmer - Eisenerz
Brand: Steiermark
Rating: 5 (1 reviews)

From the idyllically situated Radmertal, the tour leads to the historic mining town of Eisenerz, whose landmark is the Erzberg. If you are interested in mining, you will find what you are looking for in the starting point Radmer as well as in Eisenerz, of course, because at the end of the valley in Radmer the copper mine with Austria's smallest gallery railroad awaits a visit and in Eisenerz the majestic stepped pyramid of the Erzberg with a wide range of experiences. The tour itself is one of the longer stages of the hiking route "From Glacier to Wine" and leads over the 1,305 meter high Radmerhals and the Eisenerzer Ramsau with the Nordic Training Center to the historic miner's town in the southwest of the Hochschwab massif.

The Erzberg is truly unique, because as an active mining operation with 1,300 years of history and currently the most modern day mining operation in Europe, and at the same time tourist attraction is unique in Europe. The incredible silhouette above ground, the exciting adventure tour during the day and a ride in the largest 860 horsepower cab in the world are astonishing. But Eisenerz also offers other sights. One can call the art and culture offer Land-Art in golden tones, because besides the Erzberg, tradition and modernity are also given a lot of space here. Another unique event in this context is certainly the annual Rost Fest in August. There is something for everyone here, whether for action fans, art enthusiasts or music lovers: the Rostfest Eisenerz offers varied cultural highlights on different themes. In addition, the extraordinary art, culture and music festival invites you to various workshops and talks about culture in rural areas.

From the inn "Zum Erzberg" (Tel. +43 3635 2145) in the area between the villages Radmer an der Hasel and Radmer an der Stube (tourist information Tel. +43 3635 2110) we first head out of the valley. In Radmer an der Stube we branch off to the right in a southeasterly direction in order to march in the direction of Lahngraben. Walking slightly uphill parallel to the Lahngraben we reach the Radmerhals, the highest point of our stage on the hiking route "From glacier to wine", via the Paargraben, the Heindlgraben and the Hienharthütte (private hut). From here, we now head leisurely downhill to the Eisenerzer Ramsau, where we reach the Nordic Training Center of the Austrian Ski Association. Since training is carried out here diligently even in summer, we can also - if chance has it - watch the mat jumping.

With the Erzberg always in sight, the trail leads us out of the valley via the Alpengasthaus Ramsau (Tel. +43 3848 60226), the Gasthof Pichlerhof (Tel. +43 3848 3414) and the JUFA Eisenerzer Ramsau (Tel. +43 3848 60560) in the direction of Eisenerz, keeping to the left after just under 12 kilometers of trail in order to reach the historic mining town via the Hohenegg with a view of the Erzberg and the Erzbergbahn and via the Krumpental (Tourist Information Tel. +43 3635 2110 or +43 676 6164847). The next day, one of the highlights of the northern route awaits us: the ascent to the Hochschwab massif with the stage to the Sonnschienalm.
