Jägersteig circular hike over the Patschagipfel (Weizklamm)

• We start with the hike of the Jägersteig above the Weizklamm gorge, where we can enjoy great views, steep rock faces that are partly secured with ropes and - if we want to extend the tour - even a suspension bridge that can be crossed.
• Note: The suspension bridge is not directly on the described route, but can be crossed by a short diversions (descent and ascent on the same path to the original starting point). Certainly a highlight.
• Then it's time for the ascent to the Patschasattel. This part leads up to the Patschasattel on a partly steep and trackless terrain with often loose scree. This section is sparsely marked with red dots, so we recommend using Outdooraktiv or Alpenvereinaktiv.
• Arriving at the top of the hill, the Patschasattel, with its fantastic view of Passail and Weiz, we meet the Patscha hiking trail, which then leads directly to the Patscha summit.
• At the summit we have the opportunity for a rest with a view to St. Kathrein am Offenegg.
• The descent is then via the trail to the Vogelhütte and from there then via forest and meadow fields back to the starting point.

Take a snack with you and enjoy it at the Patschasattel or on the benches at the summit of the Patscha.

For local transportation we recommend the SAM-Sammeltaxi Oststeiermark.

There is a free car park at the starting point of the tour.
