Details for: "alpannonia" - feeder road: Rettenegg - Pretul

Brief description

From the UNESCO World Heritage Site Semmering or from the high altitude health resort Fischbach to the edge of the Pannonian plain near Köszeg, a path full of variety and attractions of nature leads: alpannonia®.

You also become an "alpannonier" if you start the tour in one of the feeder communities, as for example in Rettenegg. Then you go up to the 1656 m high Pretul, where you can join the main trail.

Description

The municipality of Rettenegg is known, among other things, for the Planet Trail, which leads to the Stuhleck, or also for the Trollengasthof Joglland, with the special Jobi mountain trout. And it is precisely in this community that the alpannonia feeder trail to the Pretul starts. On the Pretul, too, there is a lot worth seeing and interesting things waiting for the hikers. For example, the Peter Bergner Warte: This was built, so the story goes, for the innkeeper of the Rosegger Schutzhaus, Peter Bergner, who was murdered in 1904.

A few tips on correct and fair behaviour in the forest: (Source: www.bundesforste.at )

Hikers should avoid visits to the forest about 1.5 hours before sunrise and after sunset, as wild animals are particularly active during this time.

Plastic bottles, handkerchiefs, cigarette butts etc. have no place in the forest! Please make sure that you do not leave any rubbish in the forest.

Camping and lighting fires are strictly forbidden in the forest!

In principle, every person is allowed to pick 2 kg of mushrooms and berries per day for personal use. It is only prohibited if the forest owner expressly forbids it.
