Hinterburg-Moar in Egg (Path 8)

A shady, but at times steep ascent is rewarded with a magnificent view of the Wölzer Tauern and a less strenuous return journey.
The initially family-friendly circular route becomes a steep forest path in the so-called “citizens' forest”, which, however, is always in the shade. Once you have reached Hinterburg, it is flat and sunny for a while before you reach the forest towards the “Moar im Egg” farm. The much more comfortable way back runs alternately over meadows and through forests.

More information

Coming from Judenburg via Unzmarkt to Scheifling. Turn right here towards Murau. In Niederwölz turn right again and drive to Oberwölz.

Coming from Tamsweg, drive via Ranten (or Stadl an der Mur) to Murau. Drive straight on here to Niederwölz. In Niederwölz turn left and keep going straight to Oberwölz.

From the information center opposite the town parish church, follow the signs to the leisure center (note: turn left in the Hintereggertor, along the town wall!).

Continue towards the sports field. Directly behind the training area you enter the area of the high ropes course. At the fork in the path in the high ropes course, keep left towards Hinterburg and Pleschaitz. After the first climb, cross a forest path diagonally to the left and then follow the hiking trail uphill. This section of the path requires a lot of fitness due to its steepness. After about ¾ of an hour you leave the steep forest path and reach the municipal road to Hinterburg.

At the “Alpenblick” inn you can relax from the sweaty climb and enjoy the wonderful view of the Wölzer Tauern.

After a possible rest, return to the municipal road towards Katsch. Opposite the chapel, turn right to the farmstead. “Gmeiner”. In the area of the farmstead, follow the meadow path, again to the right. Shortly after entering the forest, you leave the forest path to the right on a hiking trail towards “Moar im Egg”. As you leave the forest, the hiking trail joins a forest path again, which leads directly to the farmstead that you cross. Follow the farm entrance, which you leave after a few hundred meters to the left and continue down the valley on a meadow path. The path leads past a hut with a raised seat through the forest downhill into the Wölzertal. In the area of the Gasthaus Kammersberger you cross the municipal road and cross a small meadow straight into the forest. Here you follow the path to the leisure center.
