Sillweger Aussichtswarte von Rattenberg

Closed
The Sillweger Aussichtswarte is easy to hike from Rattenberg and a wonderful place to linger and enjoy.
The Sillweg lookout point, built in 1909, is a small lookout point with a big impact. The lookout point is situated at an altitude of 959 m above sea level and surprises with its exposed location and wonderful views. There is a wooden hut with seating and a panorama board at this small spot, which can be used to identify the peaks of the Stubalpe and the Seetal Alps. You can really make yourself comfortable at this special place and if you want, you can extend the tour with a hike to the Hammerleck.

More information

From St. Michael in Upper Styria via the Murtal expressway S36 (toll sticker required) to the "Zeltweg-Ost" exit. Then past the Red Bull Ring to Rattenberg (30 km, approx. 20 minutes).

 

From Judenburg via the Murtal expressway S36 (toll sticker required) to the "Judenburg-Ost" exit and via Fohnsdorf to Rattenberg (15 km, approx. 20 minutes).

We start directly at the Hotel Restaurant Perschler (1), 702 m, and walk towards the center of Rattenberg. After 300 meters we turn left, following the new red-white-red markings. Pass the houses and continue along a paved path across meadows and farmland to Sillweg. At the crossroads, turn right, slightly uphill through Sillweg (2), 736 m, to the signpost "Zur Sillweger Aussichtswarte". Now leave the asphalt road and follow the moderately ascending forest road until you reach the start of the hiking trail after approx. 20 minutes. Now turn right onto a narrow path that leads directly to the Sillweger Aussichtswarte (3), 959 m. After a leisurely break, we go straight back to the first junction and now hike downhill towards Fohnsdorf. We follow the path through the forest to the Trauner farmstead (4), 994 m. From here you are comfortably on a gravel road that leads into the populated area of Fohnsdorf. Follow the asphalt road for a while - always following the red-white-red markings - until you reach a crossroads where you turn right into the center of Fohnsdorf. Keep left at this crossroads and continue straight ahead on the road that leads to Sillweg (2), 736 m. In the center of Sillweg we meet the path we already know and walk back to Rattenberg.
Anyone who would like to combine a good meal outdoors with a hike should find out more about the "Wir Wirte Wandern" project from Hotel Perschler.
Rattenberg is easy to reach by bus. The nearest train stations are Judenburg, Zeltweg and Knittelfeld.
