More information

Approach via Murtalschnellstaße S 36 , exit Knittelfeld Ost to Apfelberg, Großlobming and Kleinlobming to Gaberlstraße

We start directly at the Gaberlstraße on trail no. 30. After a wayside shrine, the trail leads away to the right (coming from Kleinlobming). The path leads through forest and across meadows until you reach the Stüblergut. It is private and closed. This was already in the Middle Ages a horse changing station for the carts that were on the way to the "Altes Almhaus".

Partly the path is accompanied by 20 cm deep ruts in the rocks, there are speculations that already the Romans would have used this route with their carts. Hence the name Römerweg in the Murtal adventure region.

After the Stüblergut, the trail continues until it joins the road, which you follow for about 300 meters to the old Almhaus (managed inn).

If you continue to the Wölker Kogel (1.706m) (1/2 hour) you have a magnificent view of western Styria.

The entrance to the Römerweg is also possible directly at the Gaberl (at the windmills).

Refreshment stop after about 3/4 hours at the Latschenhütte (open again from 4.12.).
