Marmot hike

Countless marmots can be observed up close while playing, eating and lounging in the ERZBERG LEOBEN region.
At the picturesque Zölzboden, hikers are offered a special natural spectacle: countless marmots can be observed at close range while playing, eating and lounging. After extensive observation, you can resume your hike past the Rahmhütte to the Hirnalm. The latter is ideal for a stop with typical Styrian delicacies before returning to the starting point.
