Mistlegg-Runde in St. Kathrein/Offenegg

Open
From the town center of St. Kathrein in the Almenland Nature Park in Styria, via the "Karlwirt" back up to Mistlegg and in a loop over the Oberlammbacher back to the town.

A short hike with a few ascents and descents, the route is also ideal for families who will certainly appreciate the wide range of leisure activities on offer at the "Karlwirt". Mistlegg is a wooded district of St. Kathrein and offers a direct view of the town center. Mushroom hunters in particular will have a lot of fun here.
