Winter hike on the Zetz
Only a few minutes' drive from Weiz, the Zetz is perfect for a winter hike with the whole family. The hike leads along a path from the Wittgruberhof up to the High Zetz. There are many vantage points along the way. The Zetz is accessible at any time of year. The hike leads along idyllic hiking trails through the middle of the forest. There are two ascents, but they are easily manageable. On this hiking trail you can switch off and really enjoy nature.
