More information

Kleinlobming is located in the Murtal region of Styria and is easy to reach by car. From Graz, take the A9 and S36 in the direction of Judenburg for about 1 hour. Exit in Knittelfeld and follow the signs to Kleinlobming. Alternatively, you can travel by train to Knittelfeld, from where regional buses continue to Kleinlobming.
From the village center, follow the signs towards Steinplan and initially hike along a marked forest path towards the forest. The path leads through dense, shady forests - ideal for warm days and perfect for acclimatizing.

After around 30 minutes, the forest opens up occasionally and you follow the marked path further along a forest road, which climbs gently uphill. The path remains well signposted throughout.

After around 1.5 hours on the forest path, you will reach a crossroads from where the ascent becomes somewhat steeper. Continue to follow the signposts towards Steinplan. Narrow paths and forest tracks alternate here and you quickly gain altitude.

The forest soon opens up and you reach an alpine meadow from where you can already see the Steinplan summit cross. Enjoy the last few meters through the alpine meadows and finally reach the summit at 1,670 meters. The trail leads back to Kleinlobming in a circular route
