Along this path you will find many a technical tidbit. Carving, cooling, transporting, screwing, painting, sparking, welding and much more ...

At the entrance gate in Feistringgraben, the path climbs a bit until you reach the cozy Jausenstation Hangler Huabn (www.hangler-huabn.at). The snack station is open from Easter to Christmas from Friday to Sunday and on holidays from 2 pm. The trail continues through forest terrain past beautiful vantage points to the Aflenz earth station in Graßnitz. We continue through the village of Graßnitz to the recreational ponds in Seebach. Here the Campingstüberl invites you to a comfortable stop (open daily from 10 am to 2 pm, Tuesday is a day of rest). Following the road we reach the "Mühlstüberl" in Döllach (open Tuesday to Friday from 2pm to 2pm, Saturday/Sunday/holiday from 9am to 2pm).

The "Zoag ma wos Steig" is designed as a circular trail. However, the section from Mühlstüberl to the starting point in Feistringgraben will not be completed until 2019. Therefore, either return the same way or return to the starting point with a regional cab company.
