From Mürzzuschlag via Kapellen to Altenberg an der Rax. The trail is located about 500 meters south of the town center.

Not far from the trail is the Climate Change Trail in Altenberg an der Rax, which fits the theme perfectly. The famous Neuberg Abbey with its impressive church is also nearby. The trail is ideal for school groups.

The Montanrundweg and the Montanarum Mining Museum are also just a short distance away.
