More information
Via the A9 motorway (exit Gratkorn-Süd or Gratkorn-Nord).
Coming from the north on the S35, take the exit Peggau–Deutschfeistritz and continue on the B 67 to Gratkorn.
Starting at the Park & Ride parking area in Gratkorn (between the BP petrol station and the Peterhof inn), go west towards the town centre. At the intersection, go right into Dultstrasse in the direction of Dultgraben. Hike along trail no. 5 into the Hahngraben, then bear right and continue on trail no. 6 to the Rannach Alpine Garden, where food and drink is served. Trail no. 1 will lead you back to the Dultgraben, past the convent and under the motorway bridge. If you’re (still) hungry, the Brunnhansl tavern is a good place for hearty home-made snacks. To get to this tavern, take the first turning right after the motorway bridge and then the third turning left.
The Rannach Alpine Garden has a wonderful variety of flora and fauna to be seen until well into the autumn.
Hikers can easily arrive without a car by using bus or train services. The frequent S1 trains between Graz and Bruck/ Mur make reaching OberGraz easy. (Gratwein–Gratkorn railway station)
