Wildwiesen round, Miesenbach
Enjoy the panoramic view of the Joglland-Waldheimat region from the 36 m high Wildwiesenwarte at cloud level, so to speak.
The Wildwiesenwarte is the "landmark" of Miesenbach, the power donor village. The hike to the Wildwiese, one of the most beautiful pleasure spots in Styria, never ceases to amaze: whether it's the mighty lime tree with its girth, the elaborate replica of the Waldhauser chapel as a photo motif or the Jägersteig trail in the direction of Floisenkogel. A stop at the Wildwiesenhütte, for example on "Hüttenschnitzel Monday", rounds off the tour before returning to the village.
