The tour starts in the center of Pischelsdorf am Kulm at the elementary school.

Steady ascent until we reach the Kulmkeltendorf - well worth a visit

Then we continue along the Kulmstraße to the Steirischer Schnitzelwirt (open on Saturdays and Sundays) - finally done and a well-deserved break.

After an extensive refreshment, we return to the starting point.
