Turnfeld - Hike - Fairy Path

Your hikes in the Vienna Alps should be a fully enjoyable and safe experience. Please note the following:

Preparation

Make sure the chosen route matches your mountain experience and physical condition. Check the weather forecast beforehand. Weather in the mountains can change surprisingly quickly. Always set out suitably equipped (e.g. rain protection).

Check if the huts and snack stations you want to visit along the way are open. Inform someone about your chosen route and planned return before you start.

Always take suitable maps. Wear sturdy shoes appropriate for the route, bring sun and rain protection as well as water and a snack. Take your mobile phone and save the emergency number for mountain rescue: 140

The starting point is the municipal car park in Krumbach. From there, follow the red marking to the open-air museum. Once there, take the street to the right (Bürgerspital) into the forest onto a forest road. Follow this road straight for about 500m until it crosses a stream to the right. Then continue briefly through a forest path over a footbridge back to the forest road. This leads to Königseggstraße. Once on this (by the farmhouse), turn right towards Krumbach into the town center.

Along the way, painted stones and small figures can be found repeatedly, which is why the path is also called the "Fairy Path".

There is ample parking in the town center of Krumbach.

From Vienna: Take the South Motorway A2, exit at Krumbach. Continue at the Krumbach junction. Continue on Kirchschlager Str./B55 to Krumbach.

From Graz: Take the South Motorway A2, exit at Aspang-Zöbern. Turn right onto L137. Continue on Kampichl and Hauptstraße. Hauptstraße turns left in Zöbern and becomes Austraße. Follow L137 to Unterhaus near Krumbach and turn left to Krumbach.

Krumbach is easily accessible by train to Edlitz-Grimmenstein and then by bus to Krumbach.
