Cult hiking trail to the wild meadow - sun trail, Miesenbach

Name: Cult hiking trail to the wild meadow - sun trail, Miesenbach
Brand: Steiermark
Rating: 5 (1 reviews)

The Wildwiesenwarte in Joglland in northeastern Styria is one of the most popular hiking destinations for the whole family in the region - this circular trail leads exactly there.

One should be careful with superlatives - but that from the Wildwiesenwarte the most beautiful panoramic view of the Joglland over the Waldheimat to our Hungarian neighbors is possible, that certainly no one doubts. Fortunately, the lookout is also open in winter and can be easily reached via the cult hiking trail from Miesenbach, but also from Wenigzell and Strallegg. The Kultwanderweg is intended to create historical and folkloric awareness among locals and guests by means of numerous information boards along the way.

The signposting of the trail starts at the Wildwiesenhof Inn and consists of blue signs with yellow inscriptions or symbols (sun).

What is most impressive about this trail is the panorama that awaits you and the exciting information that you will find on the boards and "take home" with you.

The Sonnenweg continues along the Güterweg to a prominent crossroads
At the crossing we keep to the left and walk to the so-called Bildstein
Here the path meets a flat forest road
We follow the forest road until we come to a crossroads
At the crossroads we turn sharp right and walk a short distance on the road
After a few minutes of walking we follow the right side path and then a forest path up to the wild meadow
