This leisurely hike in the eastern part of the Seckau Alps leads from the Untere Bodenhütte (1385 m) on a steady ascent, through the softly formed Freudental valley on the Bremstein (1868 m).

An evenly rising terrain awaits us in this part of the Seckau Alps. The course of the trail leads on forest roads and narrow hiking paths mostly through forest areas and in the upper area through open pastures with isolated stands of mountain pine. On the summit of the Bremstein, which is in the district of Leoben, you can see the core area of the Seckau Alps, the Liesingtal valley in front of us with the Eisenerzer Alps behind.

More information

Take the Murtal motorway, exit 36 (Feistritz/St. Lorenzen). Drive through the village of Feistritz to Prankh and Wasserleith, continuing to the end of the Feistritzgraben – approx. 15 km.

We walk along the Weinmeisterboden and turn left at the crossroads towards the lower Bodenhütte. We continue along the path and keep to the right. We cross Roßleithen, Frauenthal and Freudenthal and after a sharp right turn we reach the Bremstein.

In order to really enjoy a hike in the Murtal and relax, please note the following points:

Plan your stages according to your condition and ability. Take your time. Organize your energy very well, take enough breaks.

There are very long sections. Not everywhere there are possibilities to stop for refreshments. For a long-distance hiker it goes without saying that he should have enough drinks (and snacks) with him.

Adapt your behavior to the respective conditions, both meteorological and ground conditions. Study the weather forecast daily.

Pay attention to yourself and other hikers.

Dress appropriately for a hike:

Wear weather-appropriate, durable clothing. In any case, the clothing should protect you from possible rain and cold or sun and heat.

Even low mountain ranges often hold meteorological surprises. It is not uncommon, even in June, for a cold snap to occur at higher altitudes.

Sandals, bathing slippers, even sneakers are not the appropriate footwear for a hike.

Use hiking boots with ankle protection. Make sure they have a good tread and grip. After rain showers, it can be very slippery in the forest, even in summer, on roots, leaves and stones

Refreshments and parking at the Untere Bodenhütte (open from mid-May to mid-September). Tel.: 0043 3515 4387, Feistritzgraben 42, 8733 St. Marein - FeistritzBe sure to try the fantastic snacks!!
