Winter solstice tour Teufelstein, Fischbach

Name: Winter solstice tour Teufelstein, Fischbach
Brand: Steiermark
Rating: 5 (1 reviews)

The hike to the mystical power place leads along forest and woodland paths through the snow-covered nature of the Fischbach Alps.

The stone sculpture, the Teufelstein, attracts countless hikers to Fischbach every year. Once you reach the summit, you can enjoy the magnificent view. The panorama from the Teufelstein stretches from the Hochschwab across the Veitsch and Rax to the hilly landscape of Eastern Styria and Graz's local mountain, the Schöckl.

After the hike, you have the opportunity to enjoy refreshments in one of the inns in the climatic health resort of Fischbach, for example in the toque-awarded restaurant "Zum Forsthaus". The other restaurants in the village also offer regional delicacies all year round to spoil their guests.
