Sillweger Aussichtswarte-Runde von Fohnsdorf

“The cozy one:”
A varied circular hike from Fohnsdorf: from the main square through dense forests to the Sillwegeraussichtswarte with a wonderful panoramic view.

Highlight: Fanesdorf ruins, lookout point

The starting point of the hike is the main square in Fohnsdorf. From here, the trail initially leads along paved roads through the village before turning into an ascending forest path. The varied path leads through dense forest and offers the first beautiful views on the way to the Sillwegeraussichtswarte. The lookout point, situated at 1000 meters, rewards you with an impressive view over the Mur Valley. The descent is via the wide Sillweg forest path back to the starting point.

After leaving the village area, the gradual ascent begins on unpaved paths. The path leads through wooded sections, which become denser as you ascend and provide shade. There are small clearings along the way that offer the first views of the surrounding region. The route climbs steadily up to the Sillwegeraussichtswarte.
At the highest point of your route, the Sillwegeraussichtswarte, you will be rewarded with a far-reaching view. On clear days, the view extends as far as the surrounding mountains and valleys of the Mur Valley. The Sillwegeraussichtswarte is the ideal place to take a break and enjoy the surroundings.
The way back leads from the viewpoint down via the Sillweg. This section is mostly on wide forest paths and has fewer steep sections, making the descent pleasant. The trail takes you back towards the center of Fohnsdorf, where the tour ends at the main square.
Fohnsdorf is easy to reach by bus. The nearest train stations are Judenburg, Zeltweg and Knittelfeld.
