Hiking
If you want to experience the Gesäuse, go on foot. And because our mountains are high, hiking boots are recommended. On the paths, rocky and angular or soft and mossy, you stride around our desirable and mighty mountains. Or you can go for it and fight your way up the "stony" path to the top. Either way, you end up more satisfied with yourself and the world around you.
In a place where not only the Buchstein and Hochtor groups look each other in the light gray eyes, but also two other mountain ranges, the Haller Mauern and the Reichenstein group, have something to say about it, Mr. and Mrs. hiker feel like in paradise. Speaking of paradise: With our 9 refuges, virtually no mountain tour passes without a worthwhile stop. After all, it's not about your best time. Between the rugged Gesäuse mountains, this results in an alpine arrangement where everything can and nothing must. Those who approach our grandiose mountain nature with the appropriate humility will see their own personal longing fulfilled.
The fact that you are hiking through the only national park and the largest nature park in Styria quickly becomes clear in the Gesäuse. Natural forests with lots of dead wood and a flora and fauna that is strictly protected and only found here, immediately feel much different than anywhere else. But in addition to the wilderness, we have also preserved a wonderful alpine cultural landscape. Gentle and wild at the same time, this Gesäuse.
